How to Get There
There is no specific event parking at this event, however carparks are available at the following Gateshead Council facilities, Cross Keys NE9 6DA and Lowrey's Lane NE9 5JB. These car parks are free on a Sunday and cars are parked at their own risk as per Gateshead Council parking T&Cs. https://www.gateshead.gov.uk/article/7476/Lowrey-s-Lane-Low-Fell-NE9-5JB. The car parks are open to the public.
The event site is only a 13 min walk from the car parks.
Disabled parking is available at NE8 4SF.
We urge participants not to park in residential areas.
There are a number of bus services that stop just a short walk from Saltwell Park.
Course Details
The Gateshead course weaves through the beautiful and historical grounds of Saltwell Park, taking in the lake, Saltwell Towers and the various ornamental gardens and features. The route is entirely contained within the park and is predominantly on paths, with a lap of the main event field at the start and end of the run. The route has several inclines and a sharp descent. The main event site is on grass so can be uneven and may be slightly muddy underfoot depending on recent weather.
Please remember to bring your own water bottle already filled as there will be no bottled water provided at events. ScottishPower water refill stations will be available to use.
Please arrive 30 to 45 minutes before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.
Further Information
We recommend this event as suitable for wheelchair users and pushchairs with assistance due to the gradient of some inclines, a sharp descent and a lap around the event field at the start and end of the course. The event site, start and end of the course is on uneven grass with an incline which could make conditions difficult in bad weather.
