About this race

The Newcastle 10k, organised by RunThrough UK, is set to take place on January 17th, 2026, in the vibrant city of Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear. While specific historical details for this exact 2026 iteration are not provided, RunThrough UK events are generally known for their well-organised and accessible races suitable for runners of all abilities. Participants can anticipate a friendly and encouraging atmosphere, with clear course markings and enthusiastic support. The Newcastle 10k is expected to offer a predominantly road-based experience, typical for a city 10k. Runners should prepare for a course that showcases the urban landscape of Newcastle upon Tyne, potentially taking in iconic landmarks and riverside stretches. While the precise route may vary, the terrain is generally flat to gently undulating, making it a good option for both seasoned runners aiming for a personal best and beginners looking for a challenging yet achievable race. The January date means participants should be prepared for winter conditions, including potentially cool temperatures and the possibility of rain or wind, so appropriate clothing is advised.
