Great North Run 2017
Run for ME North East |
|
The Great North Run is a fantastic opportunity for a running challenge and is one of the UK's biggest half marathons.
Starting in Newcastle upon Tyne the 13.1 mile route takes runners through the city centre towards the River Tyne where thousands of people will cross over the iconic Tyne Bridge, from there runners will travel through Gateshead along a route lined by thousands of supporters. The route leads runners 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 as runners make their way down the final straight towards the finish gantry. Don't miss out on an electrifying atmosphere!
