Fancy a race that finishes with a trip to the shops? Next Sunday's Dalton Park races can offer just that and there's still time to enter! The Run Nation organised event has broad appeal as it incorporates both 10 and 5 mile distances that take in the scenic countryside of Durham's Heritage Coast.

Scheduled for 21 August, this end-of-summer event is run on a fantastic, mostly flat multi terrain course and features a nice blend of trail and tarmac. The 10 mile race would be an ideal warm up for an autumn half marathon, or why not challenge yourself by making the step up from 10K races?

But where does the shopping come into this, you may be wondering… Well, the finishline is in the nature reserve which is right next door to Dalton Park Retail Centre! This retail mecca is the largest factory outlet style shopping centre in the North East.

Runners participating at the Dalton Park races will receive a 10% discount at the centre's New Balance store on the day of the race, so make sure to stop at the shop with your number to purchase some rewards for your efforts!

The discounts don't stop there though. Organisers are offering a 20% discount on this event and all other Run Nation events for the remainder of August - just use the code SUMMER20. Entries for the Dalton Park races close on 20 August.
