The Challenge

If you're here, you probably already know what Parkrun is - a free, timed 5km run, every saturday. You may also know that we have lots to choose from in the North-East, ranging from the almost-flat to the very hilly.

We also have a pretty handy (most of the time) light rail system - making it easy to get out and about and do some tourism! Specifically, there are 6 that start within 2km of a metro station - these are:

• Newcastle
• Rising Sun
• Whitley Bay
• South Shields
• Windy Nook
• Gateshead

If you can get to any of these, you can probably get to the others without too much fuss, so why not do all 6?

Total Time

So now you've done all 6 runs, what next? Well, if you add up the 6 times you get STUFF - and now, you have a score that you can improve by improving your PB at any one of the six. Had a windy day at South Shields? Trouble on the steps at Windy Nook? Assaulted by a goose at Gateshead? Give it another go! It's up to you how you choose to approach it.
