North Tyneside 10k Road Race

North Tyneside 10k Road Race, organized by North Tyneside Council with support from Start Fitness, is one of the UK’s scenic 10k events. The route starts at Parks Sports Centre, Howdon Road, North Shields, winding past a working Fish Quay, along the River Tyne, past Tynemouth Priory and Castle, and along a long coastline to finish at St. Mary’s Lighthouse in Whitley Bay.

The race uses chip timing, with results sent by text and video clips available afterward. Runners receive a goody bag with a race T-shirt at the finish. Entry is £21; entrants must be over 16.

The 2025 edition was scheduled later to accommodate the seafront cycleway. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
