- 16 km
- 24 km
The North East’s biggest and best 10k takes runners on a journey through Newcastle city centre and past some of the city’s most iconic sights. You'll get to cross the Tyne Bridge not once, but twice! You can expect a party atmosphere and roaring local support with music and charity cheer points all along the route. Take your place on the AJ Bell Great North 10k start line and be part of the action.
Starting on the famous GNR start line, runners will follow the first 3km of the GNR course and pass across the iconic Tyne Bridge twice, before weaving through Newcastle city centre. Runners will take in famous landmarks on route including The Sage, Grey’s Monument, Eldon Square, Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle Civic Centre, Haymarket, and Great North Museum. A grandstand finish awaits as runners pass through Town Moor before crossing the finish line and enjoying the post-event celebrations in the Apres Run zone.
Participants will receive a bespoke finishers medal, an exclusive finishers t-shirt, and a finishers goodie bag. There will be on-course music entertainment zones to keep you motivated, incredible crowd support, and access to Runner Reward offers. Pre-race training advice and motivation will also be provided, along with access to the free Great Run app to allow your loved ones to track your progress along the route.
Ensure you plan your journey to the start line in advance of the big day as there will be a number of road closures in place. Your start time and wave allocation will be based on your estimated finish time when you enter. Entrants must be 15 and older to enter the 10k. Race packs will be sent out approximately 3 weeks before the event.
