Events of the North in conjunction with Sunderland City Council, have taken the decision to delay the 2021 Sunderland City Runs event due to the ongoing situation surrounding Covid-19 to hopefully give all of us a great chance of delivering a safe and exciting event which we can all look forward to. Entries are still open for the 2021 event and all existing entries have been transferred to the new dates, 19th & 20th June.

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!
