The next best thing to the Great North Run, the Gateshead Marathon is a road-closed race taking in all the famous landmarks of Gateshead, including the Millennium Bridge, The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, BALTIC, the Tyne and Swing Bridges, and finishing in the iconic Gateshead International Stadium.

Gateshead International Stadium is the third-largest sporting venue in Tyne and Wear and the North East’s only IAAF-standard athletics stadium. The venue has hosted IAAF Diamond and Golden League Athletics as well as the European Cup, all featuring the superstars of athletics. You’ll be running in the tracks of many World Champions and Olympians, and crossing the finish line at a stadium where five world records in track and field have been broken.

So come and join Team Lily in May 2025 and be a mito hero.
