Cancer Research UK Race for Life Newcastle

Race for Life Newcastle in Tyne and Wear has the feel of a large local gathering with a serious purpose. Participants walk, jog, or run, with families and groups joining runners aged 16 and over, all supporting cancer research. The running options include a chip-timed challenge, and Pretty Muddy features an obstacle course where participants "climb, crawl and slide their way" around. Expect a welcoming crowd, many first-time participants, and the typical Race for Life finish-line atmosphere of smiles, exertion, and people running in memory of loved ones.
