Hamsterley Forest Trail Half Marathon, 10K & 5K is an off road running event set within Hamsterley Forest in County Durham. Starting from the forest visitor centre, the three distances explore a varied woodland setting of forest tracks, winding trails and open sections with views across the surrounding landscape.

Runners can choose between the Half Marathon, 10K and 5K, with each distance following undulating, well marked trails through the forest. Shaded stretches beneath the trees alternate with more open clearings, while the changing gradients and natural surfaces provide a rewarding trail challenge for runners across the different distances.

The courses are marked with trail flags and directional arrows, with marshals positioned to guide and support runners. All three races are chip timed, and finishers receive a themed medal and post race goodies, with free official race photography also included.
