Ad Gefrin Trail Race, 19th April 2026

by Peter Coultard

Well done Josie getting 3rd female home!

Bussed up to the Anglo-Saxon site of Ad Gefrin for the start, setting off at about 9:15am. Warm-up along the field, cross the road then the climb up Yeavering Bell began in earnest.

The start was a bit chilly but that climb soon warmed us up in the sun from a clear blue sky.

Onwards, through the boggy bits and onto St Cuthbert’s Way, back to more familiar trails towards the duck ponds car park in Wooler.

Climbing wasn’t finished yet, of course we had to go up heart-break hill then a fast route all downhill to the distillery.

Lovely morning run and Josie really showing off her elevation skills at the start.

Josie was too fast to get any of her
