KIELDER Marathon continues to grow with a record number of participants over the weekend.

With the addition of the half marathon, 2015 was a bumper year for the event which saw well over 3,000 participants take part in the various activities.

Close to 1,000 people ran the annual Kielder Marathon, with around 800 taking part in the half marathon. There was also good interest in the three junior races for children from the age of seven to 15.

The action spilled over from Saturday, with hundreds taking part in both the Kielder 10K and the Run, Bike, Run events.

A full report with pictures will feature in this week‘s Hexham Courant.
