Newcastle Half Marathon & 10K 2026

The Newcastle Half Marathon & 10K begins and ends at Kingston Park, home of the Newcastle Falcons Rugby Union team in Newcastle upon Tyne. Participants can select either the half marathon or the 10K, both utilizing road-closed courses. The race commences at 9:00 am from the NE13 area of the city. The course departs the stadium vicinity, crossing country lanes near Newcastle Airport and Dinnington. This positions it as an outer-city road race rather than one featuring central Newcastle landmarks. The event collaborates with Newcastle Frontrunners, the city’s largest inclusive running club, which supports LGBTQ+ runners and allies. They incorporate the race into their Pride Month awareness efforts.
