In the North East our local football clubs are the heartbeat of our community, and it’s the passion of thousands of supporters across the region that has inspired the Heart of the North Challenge -  a 266.3 tour of the 2nd oldest football league in the World!

Join us and run, walk or (pub) crawl our virtual route taking in the homes of World Cup winners and some of the oldest Football Clubs in Britain, whilst enjoying our amazing coastline and iconic landmarks through a fully immersive interactive map. 

This unique challenge is open to all ages, so wherever you are in the world you can race against, or alongside family and friends whilst helping to raise essential funds for the British Heart Foundation - the charity that fights for every heartbeat.

£2 of every entry fee will be donated to the BHF, and you can help to raise additional funds by sharing a link to this page to your friends and family.
