About the trail

One of the three most popular trails in the UK, Hadrian’s Wall National Trail provides a quality challenge for runners, yet is still suitable for the less-experienced. Well-waymarked and easy to follow, there’s always something fascinating to look at whenever you need to stop for a breather.

The route follows the line of World Heritage-listed Hadrian’s Wall wherever possible, including big views, big climbs and fascinating historical ruins. Long sections of the Wall, built in AD 122 by Emperor Hadrian, remain intact. You can run right beside them, racing in the footsteps of Roman legionaries.

Hadrian's Wall Run

Follow Hadrian’s Wall through stunning Northumbrian countryside on this historic trail running holiday from Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway. The rolling hills are sure to test you and offer a serious challenge on a higher mileage itinerary, but with its clear waymarking and abundance of archaeological sites to keep you entertained, Hadrian’s Wall Path is still a great choice for the less experienced multi-day runner.
