Training in Shildon

A track, a gym and a running club.

Shildon-Sunnydale Leisure Centre is the town's main site, with a gym for cardio, strength and weights, a sports hall and an athletics track. Shildon Running & Athletic Club gives runners company, Furnace Fitness is an independent gym, and team sport runs from Shildon AFC to County Durham Spartans, a baseball club.

Hackworth Park in the town centre, named after railway engineer Timothy Hackworth, is a green space for an easy run, and Bishop Auckland is about 2.5 miles to the north-west. Training at a track is more fun with someone to pace you, so look for a partner for intervals at Sunnydale.
