Newcastle United Foundation
Another exciting addition for 2023 is a partnership with the Newcastle United Foundation. Runners have the option to be a local hero and run for The Foundation, raising donations for sports and wellbeing programmes in the area. There will be a black and white wave on event day, with runners wearing a special black and white striped run number in the clubs’ colours.
The Foundation is focussed on improving the lives of thousands of local children, teenagers, adults, families and the older generations. They are committed to helping people across the North East be more active and feel happier and healthier, through sport. Find out more about The Foundation here.
