The Route
The Great North Run starts in Central Newcastle, running through Gateshead and finishing on the Coast Road in South Shields. It is a pretty fantastic route lined with cheering spectators.
We aim to have at least two cheering points (dependent upon the availability of volunteers):
- On the A184 (Felling Bypass) just beyond the Heworth Interchange; there is a metal footbridge that crosses the dual carriageway at this point - please look up!
- On the A183 (Coast Road) between the 12 mile point and finish.
If you have friends and family wnating to cheer you along, please feel free to encourage them to join us at one of the cheering points.
