2. AJ Bell Great North Run<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n
7th September 2025<\/span><\/h5>\n

\"TheSeptember is a fantastic time to explore the UK and if you’re looking for an electric atmosphere and a dash of northern charm, look no further than the northeast of England! Every year, the iconic Great North Run attracts over 60,000 runners to tackle the world’s biggest half marathon. While the ballot for runners in 2025 has closed, that doesn’t mean you can’t be part of the excitement while exploring the city of Newcastle upon Tyne.<\/h4>\n

So ditch the trainers and grab your comfy shoes – the Great North Run is a spectator’s dream. Picture lining the streets of Newcastle upon Tyne and South Shields, cheering on the runners as they weave their way through the city and along the scenic coast. The energy is incredible, with crowds creating a sea of noise and encouragement. Plus, there are plenty of food stalls and entertainment zones along the route, making it a fun day out for the whole family.<\/h4>\n
