Run to the Rising Sun

Run to the Rising Sun is a 10k trail race held at Rising Sun Country Park in North Tyneside. The event features a well-marked, traffic-free course on a mix of hard-packed gravel, grassy paths, and woodland trails, suitable for both novice and experienced trail runners. The route includes one main summit, timed so participants can enjoy sunrise views from Rising Sun Hill before a mostly downhill finish.

The park offers a scenic setting with woodlands, ponds, and grasslands. Amenities include a café, medical support, and eco-friendly race medals made from wildflower seed paper. Parking is available nearby, and car sharing is encouraged to reduce environmental impact. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
