The Junior & Mini Great North Run brings young runners to Newcastle Quayside for a day of running as part of the Great North Run weekend. The event features a 4K Junior race for ages 9 to 16 and a 1.2K Mini race for ages 3 to 8.
Both routes cross the Swing Bridge into Gateshead, with Junior runners completing an additional out and back section before joining the Mini route along Gateshead Quayside. Runners pass prominent riverside landmarks and cross the Millennium Bridge before finishing on Newcastle Quayside.
The event also includes the Mini 50, an inclusive 50 metre course for children aged 3 to 16 with specific needs who may not ordinarily be able to participate in the longer events. Participants receive an event T shirt and a medal at the finish.
