Routes

The Long version of the route goes through the Tees Barrage area, together with an area of new housing and Durham University's Stockton campus.  The area is very flat, and there is no significant climb on the route.

The short version of the route remains close to the Tees Barrage and is fully accessible.  It involves virtually no climbing.

In the MapRun6 app, Select Event, navigate to UK / Cleveland / Stockton and then choose one of the two routes.

Route	Length	Name in MapRun6
Short	1.2 km	Tees Barrage Short
Long	2.9 km	Tees Barrage Long	Temporarily unavailable due to construction work.

Please note that the route lengths are measured in straight lines between the checkpoints.  Unless you can leap over tall buildings (and the River Tees!) in a single bound you'll actually run about 30% - 50% further than the distances in the table.

Results

You can access the results via the MapRun Console.  Open the menu (three horizontal lines at the top left hand corner of the window), select Leader Board and then filter by Tees.

Facilities

There are no public toilets in this area, so please make your own arrangements beforehand.

Safety

Please:-

• Use a "buddy system" so that someone knows where you've gone and when you should return.
• Take care when running close to deep water – including the River Tees and the White Water course.
• Wear high visibility / reflective clothing (e.g. a high-viz vest, reflective armbands or something similar) if you're running after dark or in gloomy conditions.
• Be courteous to other people in the area.
• Comply with Government guidance on social distancing.
• Take care crossing roads.
