Great North 5k
The Great North 5k is a perfect course to take in the scenic views across both Newcastle and Gateshead, including the famous Tyne Bridge.

Beamish Hall and Woods 10k
A varied course on paths, trails, woodland and around the grounds there’s something for everyone. With a mile or two in Hedley Hall Woodland and a few technical sections in Beamish Woods the run then finishes with a flat run back to the magnificent hotel grounds.
Amy messaged to say “Had a good time at the race today, first proper trail race and managed to get lost for 2 mins 🤣🤣 a very hilly and technical one through the woods but very fun and worth it for the coffee and veggie sausage sarnie at the finish line hahaha. Felt very underdressed for picking up the food aha. I came 3rd out of everyone/ 1st woman 😊”
Luke wrote “much harder than I expected. Proper trail race with muddy hills and steep inclines but really enjoyed it and nice to take first place.
Field size 122
