Great North 10k route

Passing under the iconic Tyne Bridge and heading along to the Sage Gateshead and BALTIC before bending back along the Quayside for a triumphant lap of the Gateshead International Stadium track, cheered on by your family and friends.

The latest addition to the 10k course is the now infamous ’Slog on the Tyne’ section, a steady uphill climb that will really put your training to the test.

FAQs

Race Pack: packs are sent out approximately two weeks prior to the event. Inlucded will be your Race Number Timing Chip to give you an accurate race time

Start Times: We cannot guarantee that all runners who estimated the same running time will be allocated in the same wave. If you find that you have been allocated to different waves, the rule is you can move down a wave to meet your friends or family, but not up. If you would like to run in a slower wave then you do NOT need to change your race number. All you need to do is assemble in the later wave on race day. Great Run does not need to be notified of your change down.

Bag Drop: a bag drop site is available
