Run Your Hearts Out

A Charity Running Day brought to you by Heart and Sole Events & Red Sky Foundation

Lace up your trainers and get ready to make every step count! Heart and Sole Events and Red Sky Foundation have joined forces to bring you Run Your Hearts Out — a charity running day where your miles make a real difference to the lives of babies, children, and adults living with heart conditions across the North East.

Event Details

• Registration opens at 9am
• Race Time: 10:00 – 16:00
• Location: Newcastle Racecourse, High Gosforth Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE3 5HP

The Challenge

Think you've got what it takes? The format is simple, run as many 5.2km loops as you can within 6 hours. Whether you're flying solo or bringing a team, the goal is the same: complete as many laps as possible before the clock runs out.

• Solo runners will take on every lap themselves — a true test of endurance and grit.
• Team entries (up to 6 people) work as a relay — only one team member on the course at a time. Teams decide how to split the 6 hours between themselves, and all laps are combined for a final team total.

The individual and team who clock up the most laps will be crowned the winners!

Entry Options

• Individual Entry — Take on the challenge alone and push your personal limits
• Team Entry — Build a team of up to 6 and take on the challenge together, running laps in relay

Why It Matters

Every penny raised goes directly to the Red Sky Foundation, a charity dedicated to helping and supporting babies, children, and adults who are born with or who may develop heart conditions in County Durham and the North East. Your steps could help save lives, so let's make them count.
