Ali Brownlee 5K

The Ali Brownlee 5K is a June 5K held in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, starting at Riverside Stadium. It commemorates Ali Brownlee, the “Voice of the Boro,” who provided radio commentary for Middlesbrough F.C. from 1982 to 2016. The route is flat and fast, suitable for first-time runners and club runners aiming for a quick 5K. The course passes local landmarks in Middlesbrough, and the race reflects a local football and community connection, as Brownlee also participated in fundraising events throughout Teesside.
