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, with a scenic route ascending to the iconic Leas area overlooking the sea. For beginners and younger participants, a shorter 2km run is available, alongside the Super Sand Sprint, a barefoot beach dash.
