Entries for the 2021 event are now closed! We can’t wait to welcome runners to the streets of Sunderland on 19th & 20th June! The 2021 Sunderland City Runs will look and feel a little different to previous editions, but we have made plans to ensure that everyone involved enjoys the opportunity to be part of the return to running events.

The first Sunderland city 10km was held in 2011 with just over 1500 taking part. 10 years later the Sunderland City Runs will welcome 5000 participants to the city streets in a celebration of running across a range of distances. You can choose the 10th anniversary 10k,  the stunning Half-Marathon, the Northern Spire 5k or the Big 3k. There is something for everyone. Come and join in one of the norths largest running events that races through the city and along the sea front, with two of its famous bridges providing a stunning backdrop to all 4 distances. No matter if you’re a first-timer or an experienced runner, the course and atmosphere are conducive to fast times as well as a lot of fun. See you on the start line!

Step Up and help us celebrate 10 of the best!
