Registration


Our bespoke Team Manager allows you to manage your teams in advance, removing the stress of race day registration.

Once you have purchased your event tickets, one of our admins will be in touch with further details on how to complete advance registration. Utilising our Team Manager, you will be able to update your racers’ details online, right up until you collect your numbers on race day.

Our registration team will be available at Race HQ from 8:30am on Sunday 3rd August to hand out your numbers and answer any last minute queries.

As a bit of fun, we encourage clubs to come up with quirky names for their teams. These will be included in the results pages.

Route


For 2025 we are excited to be launching a brand new route for the Gosforth Summer Relays! At 2.4 miles long, our moderately hilly circular route is predominantly off-road on tarmac paths, featuring a nice little cut through the trees and a tight dog leg around mile 2, before a sprint to the finish.
