Course Details
The route takes runners through the City centre towards the River Tyne and across the iconic Tyne Bridge.
From there they will travel through Gateshead, entertained by our Bands on the Run, then on to South Shields where, at the top of Prince Edward Road, the view of the sea is one of the most welcoming sights along the whole course.
From that point there is just over a mile to go and the crowds get louder as runners make their way down the final straight towards the finish line.
