You came, you saw and you conquered the cobbled streets of Durham 🏰

Can you believe Durham City Runs was just over 3 weeks ago?

Let’s reminisce…

While joining us for our 10th Anniversary celebrations, Paula Radcliffe made a special visit to Durham Johnston Comprehensive School, where she met students and joined them for a private screening of Paula Radcliffe: Chasing Stars ⭐

It was a fantastic opportunity for the students to hear from one of Britain’s greatest athletes and be inspired by her incredible journey. Visits like these are so important, and we look forward to seeing the next generation of athletes coming through…perhaps winning one of our future Durham City Runs ❤️

💜A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR INCREDIBLE VOLUNTEERS💜

From cheering runners on, handing out medals and water, to pacing, keeping everyone safe and helping us ensure the event run smoothly – we simply couldn’t do it without you.

Without volunteers, our events truly would not be possible! Thank you for your time, energy and enthusiasm. We’re so grateful for everything you do to help make these events so special 🙌

If you’d like to volunteer with us at a future event, email [email protected]. We still have space for volunteers at the following:

📍 Middlesbrough Runs – 29 & 30 August
📍 Worcester City Runs – 12 & 13 September

Join the ranks, and come see what all the fuss is about 💙

From city streets to the racecourse 🏃

We are still reminiscing on an amazing few days. From Paula’s Run Club shakeout run at Radisson Blu Hotel, to the live screening of Paula Radcliffe: Chasing Stars at the Gala Theatre, followed by a podcast recording on Wednesday. Then onto an incredible Thursday evening hosting our 5K & 10K. 🎤

But we simply couldn’t stop there. We’re back for more today 🎉

This time, it’s all about Paula’s Families on Track at Durham Racecourse ✨

See you there for a day of fun, teamwork and plenty of smiles 💗

What a way to celebrate 10 years of Durham City Runs 🔴🟣🟡🔵

As the dust settles on another incredible event, we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our 5K & 10K through the historic streets of Durham.

Seeing thousands of runners make their way through the city before crossing the finish line outside Durham Cathedral was the perfect way to mark our 10th Anniversary. Whether you were chasing a personal best, taking on a new challenge or simply soaking up the atmosphere, we hope you enjoyed every step — we know it’s a hilly one 🫣

A huge thank you as well to our fantastic volunteers, marshals, partners and supporters, who helped make the evening such a success. Events like this simply wouldn’t be possible without you 💙

And finally, thank you to everyone who has been part of the Durham City Runs journey over the last decade. From our very first event to yesterday’s celebrations, you’ve helped build something we’re incredibly proud of 🫶

Next up — Families on Track tomorrow at Durham Racecourse tomorrow 👪

Here’s to the next 10 years 🎉
