THE DEEP NORTH RUN
Ouseburn, Newcastle
Saturday 30th May

THE UNOFFICIAL NORTH EAST HALF MARATHON

You asked. We delivered.

The Deep North Run is an unofficial half marathon bringing together running, doughnuts, coffee and good people.

In collaboration with Deep North, this is a different kind of run. If you’re sick of gels and powders, this one’s for you. On this course, you’ll be fuelled by doughnuts and coffee.

ROUTE CHANGE

Due to issues beyond our control, we have had to adjust the route from a point-to-point run to an out-and-back route.

The event will now start and finish under the arches at Deep North HQ in Ouseburn.

The route still includes around 60% of the original course and will take runners through some of the most iconic parts of Newcastle, including the Tyne Bridge, Millennium Bridge, the famous Quayside and Hadrian’s Way.

We know this is a change from the original plan, but we think the new route still keeps the spirit of the event alive: North East landmarks, community vibes, riverside paths, and plenty of Deep North fuel along the way.

Because of this route change, we have opened up a limited number of extra spaces.

Expect Deep North aid stations fuelled by doughnuts and coffee, a brilliant community atmosphere, and a finish line social back at Ouseburn.

This is not your typical race.

No pressure. No egos. Just movement and community.

Community over competition.
