Monday 9th Joon 2025 will see the introduction of an official Junior Blaydon Race supported by Project Groundwater Northumbria which will take place in the lead up to the main event.
There will be 2 junior race categories to enter:
Race 1: 8-11 years (1 mile) taking place at 17:30
Race 2: 12-16 years (2 miles) taking place at 17:45
The races will be followed by prizes awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd finishers, along with a spot prize for a lucky athlete in each race.
The route will be located around Shibdon Road Nature Reserve, Blaydon and is multi terrain.
All entrants will receive a race number, chip time, a unique Junior Blaydon Race 2025 finishers medal, drink and snack.
Each race will be limited to 150 entrants. We are expecting to be oversubscribed, to ensure fairness we will use a ballot format. There is a nominal entry fee of £4 to cover part of our costs.
The ballot will open at 08:00 on Monday 3 March 2025 and close at 20:00 on Saturday 8 March 2025. Runners will be notified on Monday 10 March.
