← South Shields Landmark Challenge

Set up by a local Running Group in South Shields.

A unique concept for a race.
Online registration through a Facebook page.
Teams of 2 to 5 people.
A start/finish point is given(often a pub!). Along with about 20+ landmark locations, about 10 days before event day.
Each team then had to come up with a route they think will get them to all the landmarks in the shortest time.
No support, no crowds but a lot of fun.
Runners going off in all directions and you pass them all over the place going in different directions throughout the race.
Run to each landmark and get a selfie with the whole team in and off to the next one. Photos are checked at the end to make sure you reached all the landmarks.
Results online that evening and a few photos taken by the organisers.
No medal/T-shirt etc, just a good laugh with friends. Only a few quid to enter.
