The RES Landmark Virtual is back with a brand new list of landmarks to discover this October.

The challenge involves a combination of running or walking, navigation and visiting some hidden gems within our area. The checkpoints can be completed in any order and you can navigate your own route. 

The route will start & finish in South Shields and will be around 8 miles in distance, depending on the route you take.
