As reported in the Shields Gazette, 57,000 runners in the 2022 race will be able to take in the atmosphere as the run finishes in South Shields for the first time in three years.

Let’s enjoy a flavour of what we can expect with a look back on great South Shields scenes from years gone by.

We have got crowd scenes, we have got finishers and we have got fancy dress runners enjoying a great time.
