Race for Life Newcastle 5K is organised by Cancer Research UK and takes place on the Town Moor near Exhibition Park in Newcastle. The event welcomes participants of all abilities to raise funds for life saving cancer research, with runners, joggers and walkers encouraged to complete the course at their own pace in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
The flat 5K route follows a mixture of surfaced paths, roads and short grass sections across the Town Moor. The varied terrain and expansive open spaces provide an enjoyable setting close to the heart of the city, creating an accessible route with a distinctive parkland feel.
Marshals and event staff help ensure a well organised race day, with refreshments and toilets available on site. The event welcomes dogs and pushchairs, offers wheelchair accessibility with assistance and brings the community together in support of Cancer Research UK's vital work.
