This unique event offers a chance to take your feet on a tour of rolling country roads & trails — right in the heart of gorgeous Northumberland hills. You choose the pace. 

The Dave Down Bridge Hospice Run/Walk honours the legacy of local hero Dave Down, who did much for so many.

The Routes

The 13K (8-Miler) is a beautiful and somewhat challenging running route with a number of trails.

The 5K Run & Walk takes in the Millennium Trail and loops up to Norham and back. Walkers not up for the full 5K can step off the course at any time. All welcome – including friendly leashed dogs.

The Kids 1K is on soccer fields and the Millennium Trail.

All participants will receive an ankle chip for Splits Timing.

The Bridge Hospice
