Tidal Trails

Tidal Trails is a vibrant running and beach festival held in South Shields, offering a unique blend of trail running and seaside fun. The event features an 8K trail run starting and finishing on the beach, ascending to the scenic Leas area overlooking the waves. For beginners and younger participants, a 2km run provides a shorter, enjoyable challenge.

Additional activities include the Super Sand Sprint, a barefoot beach sprint, and Paula Radcliffe’s Families on Track relay, designed for all ages and abilities. The festival atmosphere is enhanced with live music, beach games, food, and drinks, making it a perfect family-friendly event celebrating active lifestyles by the coast.
