Run to the Rising Sun 10k

Run to the Rising Sun is a 10k trail race at Rising Sun Country Park in North Tyneside. Organized by Greener Miles Running, it starts in the early morning to greet the sunrise. The course is traffic-free, well-marked and marshalled, with a faster, less challenging profile than their other trail events.

Runners traverse hard-packed gravel, grassy paths and woodlands, with one main summit—the Rising Sun Hill—before a mainly downhill finish. Post-race there’s a cafe and park exploration. The event emphasizes sustainability: eco medals with wildflower seeds, a tree planted per medal, no disposable cups or T-shirts, and car-sharing encouraged.
