Stanhope 10 Miler

The Stanhope 10 Miler is a non-profit, plastic-free running event held in the Durham Dales to support local charities, specifically Quinn’s Retreat, which offers support for those bereaved by suicide. The race covers 10 miles of undulating terrain, primarily on roads with some grass and trail sections, featuring a challenging ascent up Softly Bank to reach 1300 feet. Participants can choose to run or walk, with the run being timed.

Facilities include water stations, toilets, and baggage storage. All proceeds go directly to charity, and the event emphasizes safety with marshals and first aid personnel. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
