Great North 10K

The AJ Bell Great North 10k is Newcastle’s flagship 10-kilometre race. The route starts and finishes on Great North Road, sending runners through the city centre with iconic sights like the Tyne Bridge. The course profile features an initial downhill section, a flat 1.5 km, roughly 4.5 km of twists and climbs, then a final flat 2 km sprint to the finish.

The atmosphere mixes city scenery with live entertainment—a start/finish line DJ, motivation stations, and roaring crowds—culminating in a post-race celebration at the Town Moor event village. Runners receive a medal, an optional finisher tee, event-day photos, and access to tracking apps and rewards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
