About Great North 10k
The Great North 10K is a popular road 10K in Newcastle, known for its iconic city-centre route and strong race-day atmosphere. As part of the wider Great Run series, it attracts a large field each year and is a key event in the North East running calendar.
The course takes runners through Newcastle’s streets, including sections along the River Tyne, combining urban scenery with open stretches. The route includes some undulating sections, making pacing more varied than flat PB-focused races, but it remains accessible to a wide range of runners.
Organised by Great Run Company, the event delivers a large-scale, well-supported race-day experience with enthusiastic crowds and strong on-course support.
