Newcastle Quayside Run 5km

Posted at h in Newcastle Runs by 0 Comments

A “there-and-back-again” 5km run along the quayside of Newcastle Gateshead. Because it is there-and-back-again you can start at any point on the run and just follow it to each end then back to the start point to complete your 5km. You will take in views of the River Tyne, the iconic Gateshead Millennium Bridge, the BALTIC Centre, the Sage Gateshead, the Tyne Bridge and the Swing Bridge. This route is lit at night so suitable for day or night time.
