Wheelbirks Summer 10k

The Wheelbirks Summer 10k is a trail running event held at Wheelbirks Farm in Stocksfield, Northumberland. This approximately 10-kilometer race features a diverse course that includes farmland boundaries, forest and woodland trails, steep technical climbs and descents, a river crossing, and muddy sections, offering a challenging yet scenic experience for both novice and experienced trail runners. The route is fully waymarked and starts near the orchard behind the on-site café, which serves food, coffee, ice cream, and drinks for participants to enjoy before and after the race.

The event emphasizes eco-friendliness, providing runners with wildflower seed packets to support pollinators instead of disposable race swag. Amenities include race HQ with toilets, medical support, refreshments, and prizes for top finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
