About the race
South Shields Landmark Challenge is a team-based running and navigation event in South Shields, starting and finishing at The Sanddancer Pub (NE33 2LD). Teams of two or more navigate a set of landmarks over roughly 10 miles, choosing their own route and the order of checkpoints. A map and landmark list are provided a week before the event, and checkpoints can be visited in any order with a team photo at each landmark as proof.
The day features post-run refreshments and awards, and medals for finishers. The atmosphere blends heritage with fun, with fancy dress encouraged. Expect wintery weather and a mix of roads, grass, trails and hills.
Entry is £12 per runner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
