Key information about the day:

  • The fun run will start at 10am on Sunday 22nd April

In 2009 our son Alby was diagnosed with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy. Since then, with great support from our family and friends, we have become keen fundraisers for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.

2012 will see our 3rd fun run at Gibside and we hope, with your help, we will continue to raise lots of money with which to help the fight against muscle disease.

What is it?

A 5 mile fun run to raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign. Actually, it's more of an A to B really - you can do it at whatever speed you like. Also, feel free to wear fancy dress if you wish - you won't be alone in doing so!

When is it?

It will take place on Sunday 22nd April 2012 and the race will start at 10am

Where is it?

It will take place at the beautiful Gibside National Trust site. Their website will give you all the information you need about the venue, including details of how to get there from where you are.

Please be aware that parking at Gibside is fairly limited so, where possible, please arrange for someone to drop you off at the Entrance. Alternately, parking is available at the bottom of Burnopfield Bank on the Derwent Walk.

About the Course

The course takes in most of the sights of the Gibside grounds but, as a result, it is quite steep in places so don't worry if you have to walk at times. Despite the steep bits the route is entirely accessible to all-terrain pushchairs, if you wish to bring your really wee ones along. Even though this is very much a family event, please note that all children taking part must be accompanied by an adult.
