Blaydon Race is BACK for 2020!
Tuesday 9th June 2020
Everyone's favourite Blaydon Race is back for it's 40th year!
Blaydon Race is 5.4 mile race from Newcastle to Blaydon. The Blaydon Race was formed in 1981, the brain child of Dr Jim Dewar.
From 212 athletes in the first race to a 4700 sell out now, the race could be filled twice over. It follows the route taken by horse race goers in 1862 in the words of the Geordie folk song The Blaydon Races written by Geordie Ridley.
The race always sells out quickly so get ready to run to the entry page on their website on the 11th of February!
