Tees Trailtastic was so fantastic it's taken us a few days to recover!
A huge well done and thank you to everyone who took part in our third Tees Trailtastic trail running event.
It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces enjoying every moment of their run through the glorious Teesdale countryside. From first time trail runners to those tackling their longest ever distance, every single person should be incredibly proud.
There were so many highlights, but a few favourites have to be:
🏃♀️ Seeing people complete their very first trail run, or achieve a personal best distance.
🐸 'Frog Yoga' – who knew so many baby frogs would join us for our post-event LRC Yoga by the lake?
😊 Watching runners smile their way around the 3.5, 9 and 15 mile routes, making new friends and celebrating together at the finish.
One statistic we're particularly proud of is that over 70% of participants were female.
Social media can often make it look as though everyone is already confident, fit and smashing big adventures, but the reality is that many women still lack the confidence to try something new. Seeing so many of you step onto the trails, challenge yourselves, support each other and achieve things they didn't think possible is exactly why we do what we do.
A huge thank you to our incredible crew. Someone described them as our "ghost crew" because you rarely see them, but without them the event simply wouldn't happen.
These were the hottest conditions we've experienced at Tees Trailtastic, but thanks to Precision Fuel & Hydration at every aid station, everyone stayed fuelled and energised throughout the day.
Thank you also to our amazing sponsors for generously donating spot prizes and helping make the day extra special. We are so grateful for your support.
One lucky family didn't waste any time enjoying their Archers Ice Cream prize!
Want to be part of the fun - entries are now open for 2027 on Sunday 4th July.
