PLEASE NOTE - NEW REGISTRATION SYSTEM FOR 2026 (this will be an online registration to be confirmed prior to the first event of 2026, in February)
Join us for a festive Ormesby10, 10k trail run. Predominantly held on the 4th Sunday of each month, February to December, although do please check first as we have rearranged some due to events taking place at the Hall
Grab your Santa hats, tinsel or full fancy dress! After the success of our first festive event in 2025 we have decided to keep this one on the calendar. As it’s Christmas we even have prizes! First, second and third male and female will be presented with chocolates after crossing the finish line. Plus, in line with the random prizes for the night series, 5 lucky participants will receive a selection box. Don’t get too excited ha ha! We’ll even have mince pies for all participants.
This route takes you up through the farmland and woods, down the drive and onto the new multi purpose trail through the Pennyman Woods. The terrain consists of tarmac and gravel driveways, field margins and woodland trails.
With the support of Up & Running, Darlington, numbers will be provided at the event with collection from The Stables, Ormesby Hall. Keep your number going forward.
This is a timed event with the results processed and published on our Facebook page by the following Thursday evening.

Runners welcome aged 14 onwards. Registration for Under 18’s must be authorised by a parent/guardian

We all volunteer our time to keep this a free event although we do incur costs such as additional insurance. We are suggesting a ‘pay as you feel’ basis and will have a collection box should you wish to donate. We also have a Local Giving page if you would prefer to make a one off donation. If you are a tax payer, we will also benefit from Gift Aid.
