After a successful inaugural event in 2020, ULTRA NORTH returns to the North East on Saturday 5 June 2021.  Starting and finishing in Derwenthaugh Park, just a few minutes from Newcastle, ULTRA NORTH celebrates the industrial history of the region, offering a unique opportunity to explore the blend of urban, parkland, disused railway lines and woodland trails that the area has to offer.

Participants are challenged to complete the shorter 25k distance or the 55k ultra distance event.  With two distances and generous cut off times, the event is accessible to all, whether seasoned ultra-runners, walkers seeking a challenge, or first timers looking to push their limits.

NORTH 25 is designed to be a perfect challenge for half marathon runners looking to embark on a new off-road experience.  ULTRA NORTH 55 takes competitors on a tour of the region, passing iconic landmarks & following famous footpaths.

Many of Newcastle’s landmarks are world famous, but ULTRA NORTH showcases the hidden gems the region has to offer.  The route will provide a suitable challenge and perhaps some surprises along the way, but all participants will be assured of a famous Geordie welcome home as they cross the finish line.

Entries are now open and for a limited time only are available at a special Launch price.  Discover what you are made of in 2021, visit ultranorth.co.uk.
