Stanhope 10 Miler

The Stanhope 10 Miler is a scenic, multi-terrain running event held annually in Stanhope, County Durham, in the heart of the Durham Dales. Covering 10 miles, the course features an undulating route with a challenging ascent up "Killing Me Softly Bank" to 1300 feet, passing through Bollihope and Hill End before returning to finish at Stanhope Showfield. Approximately 90% of the route is on road, with 10% on grass and trail.

The event is plastic-free and supports local charities, notably Quinn’s Retreat, which aids those bereaved by suicide. Facilities include water stations, toilets, baggage storage, and first aid, with a limit of 150 participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
