Super Trail Course through woods and along the river. Lots of downhills, up hills and steps - a proper Trail Run.

Not too big, nice and friendly, great views. A challenging last 1k but a great feeling when you finish - up more steps :). Looking forward to next year. Well done Trail Outlaws.

2026 was my 5th consecutive year of racing this event, which sort of says everything.

Full praise and thanks to all the marshals and everyone else involved.
It's a tough event and some of the pleasure is retrospective.

Without doubt one of my favourite running events

This is our 3rd year at the Penshaw 10 and it didn’t dissapoint - Get a new medal cast for next year and we’ll be back with more of us.

A great challenge for trail run lovers. Nice mix of undulating terrain. Beautiful area. Good atmosphere and great views from start and st the finish.

Challenging but rewarding race

My first time doing a Trail Outlaw race and this didn’t disappoint. Very challenging route but really well organised. Atmosphere was great and all the Marshalls were super friendly

Tough run, but beautiful.

Given that pretty much everyone walked the last bit, would it make more sense to redo the route without that vicious last bit?

Didn’t question my life choices today!

Honestly, today’s event was brilliant from start to finish. Loved everything about it except the medal is exactly the same as last years. Same ribbon too.

I understand costs need to be kept does, especially given it’s one of the cheaper races to enter - but something a little different maybe?

Anyway, I’ll be back next year!

Challenging and scenic

Fab volunteers and a slightly tricky course but if you love a challenge and aren't afraid of steps, give it a go!

Overall great day.

The course was great as were the marshals with directions and encouragement. Personally I had a few awkward moments with walkers which needed some slowing and patience but that’s par for the course. The only improvement I would like to see is a more accurate chip timing system. A big thank you to trail outlaws for one of my favourite races. Penshaw is such a difficult race to judge and always leaves you wanting to come back and try again.

Fantastic brutal scenic run.

Love the trail outlaws gang, their races are always well organised and so friendly. No issues at all with number, portaloos, route, registration. The staff and Marshalls are very supportive, cheer you on and it’s a beautiful route. Offerton step’s are a killer but the reward is sweets at the refreshment table once you reach the top, worth the effort for the jelly babies.

very well organised snd communication with info etc before event .

Bespoke medals are amazing ! I find your events value for money and always scenic routes . I’ve been doing these for years however after receiving a wooden medal at penshaw half I was disappointed as well as a large group I was running with who said they wouldn’t do another trail outlaws event until medals were changed . . I have a got a fab collection of your medals including the dog tag ones that are my favourite . So massive thank you for going back to these unique personalised medals . Your events are very well
Organised .thank you

Brilliant venue for a 10k, but that last 500m hill is really hard.

Great event , will do again

I loved the race , and will do it again next year . My only gripe is that I finished 7th overall , even after going the wrong way and doing an extra half mile haha, and was 1st V50 male. When the awards were given out , thr 1st got there's then the next awards given out were V60 and V70, missing the V50 category out altogether. I had waited and hoped id be first V50 and just presumed one of the first 3 also won the V50 category. I only found out i'd won it the next day when results came out. Other than that a very enjoyable morning of racing .

Great morning trail race

Great morning trail race i loved everything about the race and the organisation i couldnt fault the run or organisation but a couple of points to make which im sure will be addressed anyway. Toilets never showed up before race unfortunately this was out of the organisers hand as they had ordered them but they never showed up. But we were in nature anyway lol. Other point just have all marshalls at there posting before the race starts and also know the route for turning points. But again I understand this is a voluntary thing so ya have to have a little leeway. Not a criticism just an observation. Overall im still very happy and satisfied with my first ever Trail Outlaws and I will be back ☺️
