Newcastle Half Marathon and 10k
This event features a half marathon and a 10k that start and finish at Kingston Park Stadium, the home ground of Newcastle Red Bulls. The courses are closed road circuits on country lanes, passing around Newcastle Airport and Dinnington with a mixture of flat and undulating sections. The event is organised in partnership with Newcastle Front Runners.
Facilities at the venue include stadium toilets, parking and nearby metro stations within a short walk. There is a secure baggage area; baggage tags attach to race numbers and bags are collected by showing the race number. Race packs are posted to entrants.
On-course support includes marshals around the route, distance signage and arrows. Water is provided at checkpoints on both courses and at the finish: the half marathon has stations at about 3 miles, 6 miles and 9 miles plus the finish; the 10k has a station around 5 kilometres and at the finish. There will be a photographer and results will be published after the event. A race cut off time of three hours applies.
Age requirements are 15 and over for the 10k and 17 and over for the half marathon. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
