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.

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.
