South Shields Landmark Challenge

The South Shields Landmark Challenge is a team-based running and navigation event held in South Shields, UK. Scheduled for late December, it features a course of approximately 10 miles, combining roads, trails, grass, and hills with wintery conditions. Teams of two or more runners navigate their own routes between a set start and finish point and multiple checkpoints, which are revealed one week before the event.

Participants must photograph their team at each landmark to prove visits. The event celebrates the heritage of South Shields and encourages fun, including fancy dress. Post-run refreshments and awards add to the friendly atmosphere.

Entry costs £12 per runner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
