HogmanHoway 5K
The HogmanHoway 5K is an evening New Year’s Eve running event held in Newcastle city centre with the Civic Centre as the start and finish location. The route is a closed-road, flat city course that passes festive lights and central streets. The event is chip timed and designed to accommodate a wide range of participants.
Facilities at the event hub include baggage storage, toilets and refreshments, plus an indoor space for socialising before and after the run. Water is provided at the finish and there are celebratory drinks and treats for participants. Every entry includes a specially designed medal, a finisher’s goody bag and a limited-edition event buff. Participants aged 18 and over are offered a celebratory mulled wine or a non-alcoholic alternative.
Entries are open to people aged 11 and older. Entry details note an advertised price for the 5K and an early bird period; a small discount is available for UK Athletics club members. Race packs for UK residents are posted in advance, while overseas entrants collect packs on the event weekend. The organiser publishes information on transfers, postal deadlines, race information collection and any road closures affecting the city centre. Public transport access points close to the Civic Centre include Haymarket, Monument and St James stations, and city centre car parks are available nearby.
