About the race
SG Petch Sunderland City Runs is a large closed-road running festival in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, offering 5K, 10K and Half Marathon distances plus the Active Sunderland Big 3K. The flat, traffic-free courses wind through the city streets and along the seafront, with two iconic bridges providing dramatic backdrops and a new Keel Crossing footbridge featured for the 5K. The event fosters a vibrant atmosphere with strong spectator support and a well-organised route staffed by volunteers.
Every finisher receives a medal and goody bag; entry includes secure baggage drop, electronic timing, and prize categories for top finishers. The weekend attracts thousands of participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
