Race Round Up 24th – 30th May

Sunday 30th May 2021

Gateshead Half Marathon

On what was a very warm morning along the Quayside the new Gateshead half marathon took its place starting and finishing inside the Gateshead International Stadium. Fantastic to see so much support around the course which provided runners with much needed motivation over an undulating & challenging course at times.

What a feeling it was for our runners to back participating is a mass covid secure race who all ran amazing on the day!
