About Us

Wild Deer Events was founded in 2019 by Daniel Flint, a passionate runner and coach at Blaydon Harriers, with a clear vision: to create accessible, challenging, and genuinely enjoyable endurance events for athletes of all levels. What began as a single trail run through Chopwell Woods has grown into a vibrant, community-driven organisation delivering over 40 events annually across the North of England and Scotland.

Rooted in the North East’s running community, Wild Deer Events offers a diverse portfolio of endurance challenges—from trail and road running to gravel and road cycling, duathlons, triathlons, and open water swimming. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or a first-time participant, our events are designed to inspire, include, and push your limits.

Join us and be part of a growing community that values the thrill of the outdoors, the spirit of competition, and the joy of personal achievement.
