Wild Deer Events bring you BEYOND NEWCASTLE on Saturday 25th April 2026 with a Newcastle city-centre start, stunning trails, and a fully supported running adventure that takes you far beyond the ordinary.Choose your distance, from a 55km Ultra – a big day out for those ready to go the extra mile, to a 25km Trail run– a scenic and sociable route that’s great for all levels.
The 55km route travels along the River Tyne to Wylam, where runners cross over the River Tyne and follow back along the river to Derwenthaugh Marina. At the Marina, the route turns and follows along the River Derwent. On reaching High Spen, runners head into Chopwell Woods and on to Lintzford, before dropping into the Derwent Valley, heading back along the Derwent Walk and meeting the River Tyne again. For the final section, runners follow the river back to the finish point on the West path of the Swing Bridge, finishing on the Newcastle side. Claim your bragging rights here!
Both routes start at the iconic SWING BRIDGE on Newcastle Quayside, are fully signed and supported, with friendly marshals and feed stations along the way – so all you need to do is focus on the experience.
Beyond Newcastle is open to everyone and designed to be as welcoming as it is exciting
