South Shields Landmark Challenge

The South Shields Landmark Challenge is a team-based running and navigation event held in South Shields, UK. Participants navigate a course of approximately 10 miles, visiting various heritage landmarks in any order between fixed start and finish points at The Sanddancer Pub. Teams of two or more runners use a map and a list of checkpoints provided one week before the event to plan their own routes.

The terrain includes roads, grass, trails, and hills, with wintery December conditions expected. The event encourages fun, teamwork, and creativity, with prizes for the fastest all-male and all-female teams, and a festive atmosphere including post-run refreshments and awards.
