Trail Running in the North Pennines
The Trail Blazer - Dam Busters is a trail running event located at the Blackton Grange Estate, situated near Barnard Castle. The course is positioned within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and incorporates sections of the Pennine Way. Participants run through a landscape characterized by moors and dams, utilizing rugged natural trails.
The event features two distinct distances:
- 10 km
- Half Marathon
Both race distances start from the Blackton Grange Estate. The 10 km distance is open to participants aged 16 and over. The routes are designed to highlight the natural features of the North Pennines, specifically within the Baldersdale area.
The event venue is located approximately 20 minutes west of Barnard Castle. Due to the remote rural setting, the organizer notes that public transport options are limited and recommends driving to the site. Access is available via the A66 from Scotch Corner, following directions through Cotherstone and Baldersdale. There are no specific qualification requirements or prior experience levels needed to enter these races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
