About Muddy Roads
Local routes, friendly faces and the belief that a good race can bring a whole community together.
Our story
It started with a love of running—and a lot of mud.
Muddy Roads was established in 2013 to encourage health, wellbeing and exercise across the North East. From complete beginners to seasoned club runners, everyone should be able to enjoy the region’s brilliant trails.
Our events mix beautiful routes, a little mystery and the kind of atmosphere that makes people stay for a chat after the finish. Some are fast, some are dark, and some end with pie. They all share the same welcoming spirit.
