This 14.1km circuit offers a quintessential Newcastle running experience, hugging the banks of the River Tyne for an almost entirely flat and fast effort. Starting from the iconic Quayside, you’ll navigate a mix of dedicated riverside paths and urban pavements, crossing the water via the modern Millennium Bridge and the historic Scotswood Bridge. With only 36m of total ascent, this route is perfect for tempo runs or long-distance endurance building, providing runners with wide, paved expanses and a refreshing breeze off the North Sea as you loop through the industrial heart of the Toon.
Beyond the pavement, this route is a journey through the evolution of Tyneside. As you stride along the banks, you'll pass beneath the towering structures of the Tyne and High Level Bridges, moving from the vibrant, redeveloped Quayside into areas that once roared with the sound of world-leading shipyards. The contrast between the sleek architecture of the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and the rugged, industrial heritage of the West End provides a unique backdrop that perfectly captures the grit and grace of Newcastle upon Tyne.
