AJ Bell Great North Run
12 September 2027 · Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Enter on the race websiteYou start on the Central Motorway in Newcastle, cross the Tyne Bridge into Gateshead and pass Gateshead International Stadium on long, straight roads. The road rises gently from mile 3 to mile 5, then runs downhill to mile 8. The organiser flags the sustained uphill from mile 8 to 12 as the hardest part. The North Sea appears at mile 12, and the course drops to South Shields and finishes on the seafront. Places come through a ballot, charity places or membership.
