Get ready for an exhilarating day of running as the Jarrow 10k returns on Sunday, October 6th, 2024! Partnered with the Jarrow and Hebburn Athletic Club and Nuffield Health Newcastle Hospital, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience for runners of all ages and abilities. The Jarrow 10k is also one of the races in the Top Flight elite race series, which sees runners battle it out on the course for a chanced to gain Top Flight series points, World Athletics points AND a piece of the prize purse of up to £4000 per race.
A Race Steeped in History
The Jarrow 10k is more than just a race—it’s a chance to follow in the footsteps of running legend Steve Cram, the 1500m World Champion and former world record holder. Starting and finishing at the historic Monkton Athletics Track, this flat, fast, and road-closed course offers the perfect opportunity for runners to chase personal bests while experiencing the rich running heritage of the North East.
RunThrough Co-Founder, Matt Wood, shared his excitement: “We are thrilled to bring the Jarrow 10k back to the North East. This event not only offers runners a fantastic opportunity to set personal bests on a fast course but also celebrates the rich running history of the area. With the support of Jarrow and Hebburn Athletic Club and Nuffield Health Newcastle Hospital, we are committed to delivering an exceptional race day experience for all participants.”
