Dusk til Dawn… Chopwell Wood. Coming soon in 2020!
Chopwell Woodland Park is a 360-hectare mixed woodland on the fringe of Gateshead. Miles of woodland paths and old colliery railway tracks making it very popular with walkers and cyclists. The trails criss-cross through the woodland, offering glimpses of the area’s industrial past including restored railway trucks that would have carried coal from the nearby collieries.
The Woodland Park is great for trail running and enjoying the local wildlife. If you’re lucky you may spot one of the deer, badgers, red kites and squirrels. The route follows well marked footpaths/forest trails/bridleway with occasional views of woodland sculptures.
Solo runners, and teams of 2-5 participants complete as many loops of the course as possible from the start of the race until the end.
