The Quayside 5K & 10K, also known as the Quayside Run, is a biannual road running event held in Newcastle–Gateshead Quayside, England. The event has featured a 5K race since its establishment in 2014,[1] with a 10K distance introduced in 2025.[2]

The course follows an out-and-back route along the north bank of the River Tyne in Newcastle upon Tyne. It begins close to the Tyne Bridge, heads west along the river before looping back to finish near the starting area. The 10K course covers the same route twice.[3][4][5]

Alongside the senior races, the programme includes a Junior Quayside 3K for under-13, under-15 and under-17 categories, and a 1K event for under-11s.[6]

The Quayside Run is organised by RunThrough in partnership with Gateshead Harriers & Athletics Club.[6] In 2024, Quayside 5K gained official recognition from World Athletics,[7] marking its inclusion among certified international road races. Chronicle Live has described it as "one of the region's most competitive and scenic 5K races".[8]

Course

The race takes place on a flat, out-and-back course on the north side of the River Tyne in Newcastle upon Tyne. The route begins just east of the Tyne Bridge, follows the B1600 and Skinnerburn Road westwards, and turns left onto Monarch Road before looping back. Runners then return east along National Cycle Route 72, passing beneath the Redheugh, King Edward VII, Queen Elizabeth II, High Level, Swing and Tyne bridges before finishing near the start point. The 10K event follows the same course twice.[3][4][5]
