Race Date: Sunday 1st November 2026

Tommy Runs brings 5K and 10K road racing to the seafront at Seaham, with both distances starting beside the distinctive Tommy War Memorial Statue. The coastal courses make use of closed roads and the promenade, with the 10K also including some firm trail sections. A one minute silence is observed before the races, reflecting the event’s connection with the memorial and Remembrance.

The 5K is a fast option with just 80 feet of elevation, giving runners a good opportunity to chase a quick time or personal best. The 10K provides a longer coastal challenge, following a scenic mixture of closed roads, promenade and firm trails around Seaham. Both distances are running races rather than walking events and have a 90 minute cut off.
