Events of the North have taken the decision to cancel the 2020 Sunderland City Runs event due to the ongoing situation surrounding Covid-19, with all entries to be transferred to 2021. The 2021 event will provisionally take place on 8th-9th May and you are still able to enter for next year.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the VIRTUAL event in May, we and our charity partner St Benedict’s Hospice appreciate your support. If you’d like to take part in more of our virtual events in 2020 you can find out more below.

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!
