Raby Castle Trail Runs

The Raby Castle Trail Runs, held at the historic Raby Castle in Staindrop, Darlington, offer scenic trail running events in 5, 10, and 15-mile distances. Set within 200 acres of parkland featuring medieval castle views, ornamental lakes, and roaming herds of red and fallow deer, the course provides a mix of rough trails, firm and grass paths, and woodland terrain. The 5-mile lap is repeated for longer distances, with moderately undulating routes suitable for all abilities.

The event is Canicross friendly, allowing one controlled dog per runner. Participants enjoy live chip timing, free parking, and finishers receive medals, snacks, drinks, and merchandise. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
