Four Reservoirs Ultra Trail Run - Shotley Bridge
The Four Reservoirs Ultra Trail Run takes place in Shotley Bridge, County Durham, in October 2026 and returns for the final time that year. The event offers two route options that use local moorland, woodland and reservoir paths.

The 53 km route is circular from Shotley Bridge and includes the Derwent Walk, Waskerley Way, Waskerley, Smiddy Shaw and Hisehope Reservoirs, a road section through Muggleswick with views over Derwent Reservoir, and footpaths of Derwent Gorge & Muggleswick Woods before returning via Ebchester, Hamsterley and the Derwent Walk line. The 25 km route follows the ultra until Rowley Station, descends beside the A68 to Allensford Park, then rejoins the longer route.
