The Prudhoe Miners Race was once popular with members of the town's working men's clubs.
It eventually died out after the Second World War, but it was revived in 2012 by Prudhoe Town Council to mark the London 2012 Olympics and to celebrate the town's coal mining heritage.
Since its re-birth, Essity (formerly SCA Prudhoe Mill) has been a big supporter of the event.
The 2019 event saw no fewer than 450 competitors take part in the event’s three races, with people of all ages taking to the town’s streets despite the heavy rain.
However, there was a brief pause due to Covid 19 but it was back in 2022.
The rescheduled event saw both junior and adult runners take on challenging routes through the town.
In 2022, around 220 people took part - with the furthest participant coming from Dumfries.
The 2km junior race for seven-14-year-olds and the five-mile, UK Athletics-licensed, adult road race both started and finished at Eastwoods Park.
"It feels really good to be back", said race director Lisa Napier, at the time. "And we've got nice weather.
"It's great for Prudhoe, it gets us on the map.
"If you're expecting a flat route in Prudhoe, it isn't going to happen. You can't avoid hills in Prudhoe.
"We're trying to make the race much more inclusive; people felt it was too competitive and slower runners didn't feel they could be part of it."
