You'll run through Newcastle city centre towards the River Tyne crossing the iconic Tyne Bridge with thousands of other runners. If you’re lucky enough, you’ll get a glimpse of and enjoy the thrilling sensation of the Red Arrows passing overhead!

Running through Gateshead, you will be kept entertained by bands and the incredible supporters on the sidelines.  The home straight takes you along the sea front and once you've crossed that finish line, #TeamMND will be there to celebrate with you!

The public ballot has now closed! If you entered the ballot, you should find out if you were successful by Friday 16 February.
