Go Beyond In 2025
New trail events in Manchester and Newcastle for 2025...
If you want to take your running up a notch in 2025 and head beyond the tarmac to the trails then a new series of trail events could be what you are looking for. Beyond Trails a series of trail running events in 2025 taking place in Newcastle and Manchester as well as London and Bristol.
Each one of the events has two distances to choose from, a 25K trail for those new to trail running and a 55K ultra which would work either for first time ultra runners or experienced ultra runners as part of their training for a longer race.
Organisers told us: "Beyond Trails evolved from two epic running challenges: Ultra North and Ultra London. After thousands of entrants and countless rave reviews, we decided to expand the series to include Manchester and Bristol.
"We’ve also decided to embrace the reason so many runners return to our events: the connection with the great outdoors. Hence our new name and brand: Beyond Trails, taking you beyond the city, beyond your usual routes, beyond the norm."
Beyond Newcastle is up first in the north on 26 April 2025. Runners will enjoy 25 or 55K of urban railway and woodland trails. All those taking part across both distances will start and finish their tour of the region on the iconic Swing Bridge in Newcastle.
Beyond Manchester comes a little later in the year on 26 July. Parkland, street, disused railway, reservoir trails - you name it, Beyond Manchester's got it!
