This year the Summer Cup is a series of four 2.5 mile handicap races for members of Blyth Running Club only.  The main event is for individuals, with the overall winner being decided on their total of all 4 results.  There is also a team event in order to provide a bit more competition.  The course starts and finishes at Blyth Links car park and follows a route using the promenade and the beach path, and so is safe for all ages. The handicapping system allows all ages from the Club to compete and so seniors and juniors can both take part, with everyone having an equal chance of victory.
The races are held on Monday and Wednesday evenings through late May to early September.

The first Summer Cup was held in 2008
