Junior and Mini Great North Run entries selling fast for 2023
The UK’s biggest and best kids running event is back on Saturday 9 September, giving kids a chance to shine on Great North Run weekend. The event was a sell out in 2022 and the biggest ever! Entries are selling fast this year too so don’t miss out!
The event takes place on closed roads around the Newcastle Gateshead Quayside, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Minis aged 3-8 take on a daring 1.2km dash, while Juniors aged 9-16 tackle a 4km supercharged sprint. With plenty of encouragement and high fives from the crowds, it’s an action-packed day with an atmosphere like no other.
All runners will start by crossing the Swing Bridge. Junior runners will then do a section towards the Redheugh Bridge, before re-joining the Mini route that heads along the Gateshead Quayside. All participants then run across the Millennium Bridge before a grandstand finish.
