Lambton Castle Summer Trail Runs

View all races for Aug 2026

The Lambton Castle Summer Trail Runs take place within the private grounds of the historic Lambton Estate in County Durham. Offering a choice of 5 mile, 10 mile and 15 mile distances, the event gives runners a rare opportunity to explore trails and landscapes that are normally closed to the public.

Routes pass through woodland, parkland, open fields and estate tracks, showcasing the estate's varied terrain and historic surroundings. The 5 mile route provides a shorter trail challenge, while the 10 mile course extends further through the estate. The 15 mile event combines both routes to create a longer endurance challenge for experienced trail runners.

With scenic countryside, mixed terrain and a unique private estate setting, the Lambton Castle Summer Trail Runs offer an enjoyable day of trail running for a wide range of abilities. The event is also canicross friendly, allowing runners to take part with one well controlled dog on a lead.
