Newcastle Town Moor Half Marathon, 10k, 5k & Junior Race
This event takes place at Exhibition Park and the Town Moor in Newcastle upon Tyne on 21 March 2027. Routes use wide park paths in a multi-lap format, linking the open spaces of Town Moor with the historic grounds of Exhibition Park. The course surface is a mix of tarmac and compact gravel and is described as flat with modest elevation gain on some routes.
Course management includes clear signage, directional arrows and marshals positioned throughout, including at the split point where distances separate and later rejoin. Water stations are positioned around the course at approximately every 5k, with bottled water available at the finish. Results are chip-timed, and free race photos are provided after the event. Finishers receive a unique themed medal and post-race goodies.
Event logistics note that race packs are not posted and are collected at registration on the day. An informal bag-drop is available in the event village; baggage tags are attached to race numbers for use at the bag-drop marquee. The event village is accessible on foot only and contains toilets, food and drink options, and accessible viewing areas for spectators. There is no dedicated event parking at Exhibition Park; the nearest Metro station is Haymarket, about a 10 minute walk. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
