The Course
The 10k course will start and finish at Gateshead International Stadium. Your route will take you down towards the River Tyne and you’ll head along Pipewell Gate with the river on your right hand side.
Not long after you go under the Redheugh Bridge you’ll be able to enjoy a musical boost at around the 5k marker.
You’ll then loop back with the river on your left and make your way back to the stadium, but before you do, you’ll need to tackle the infamous Slog on the Tyne hill. Get ready for your big finish line moment, and remember to smile for the official photographers from Marathon Photos, who will be there to capture you in action.
Please note course may be subject to change.
The Reward
The greatest reward in taking part is the sense of achievement as you cross the finish line, but by taking your place on the start line, you’re already part of something really special. Great Run events are renowned for being well-organised, safe, and inclusive and the atmosphere and support is always unbelievable.
