Challenge events

We would love to have you join Team Theirworld and take on the fast, flat course which includes the historic landmarks of Edinburgh. It’s perfect for runners of all levels given the variety of distances.

This fantastic 5K route is a great opportunity to explore the home of two 30-metre high horses! The Kelpies are mythical creatures who love to play at dusk, each one weighs over 300 tonnes. Come and immerse yourself in a light journey with them. Get dressed up in bright colours and bring plenty of lights and glowsticks for this fun evening event. 

Looking to stretch yourself beyond the traditional 5k or 10k but not quite ready for the next official step up? Then why not push yourself that little bit further by taking on either the 13.1k race or the 6.2k race.  

Take in the seaside with lots of distances to suit all levels of running. With fresh sea air and lovely routes along coastal paths – this is running as it should be.

Choose from a half marathon, 10k or a supernova 5k 

We would love you to join Team Theirworld for this iconic half marathon which takes you from the centre of Newcastle to the stunning coastline of South Shields.

There are two ways you can sign up: by securing a charity place or using a place you’ve already bought and deciding to run for Team Theirworld.
