Quayside 5k Event Information For Runners

Online Entries are still available all day, any entry after 11am – please show your email receipt to the Late Registration and you will be manually added to the list

I know I’m going to be disappointing a few hardcore safety vid fans by rehashing the 2019 edition but I promise to up the production budget for a sequel in 2022!!!

 U13  Born Between: 01/09/2007 – 31/08/2009          U15  Born Between: 01/09/2005 – 31/08/2007          U17  Born Between: 01/09/2003 – 31/08/2005

Race numbers and chips are collected from the registration desk at Race HQ Baltic from 5.00pm on race night. Any amendemts, lost chips, or late entries (after postal entries) are to be picked up here.

Registration Desks are set out by surname – Please ensure you have BOTH NUMBER AND CHIP with matching numbers and applied correctly. The Numbers have detachable baggage tags to put on your baggage before you put it in the baggage area.

Pacers will be in a very obvious bright coloured race T-shirt with their pace time on their back. We have pacers for virtually every minute from 20mins to 45mins with very few gaps.

Toilet facilities are at the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Arts, Baltic Square and Pitcher & Piano for the event with several other public toilets in the close vicinity.

The closest Metro Stations is Gateshead and train station Newcastle Central Station with several large public car parks on the Quayside – Mill Road is closed but Quarryfield Road Car Park will be available a short walk away.

We have no official water station with the event being 5km, however there will be some limited water at the turn point of the course if needed and there will be water in all goodie bags once you have finished.

As you cross the finish line, please follow instruction from marshals to keep moving up the ramp to collect your water, goodie bags, race T-shirts and baggage.

*The T-Shirt size orders are submitted according to available entry data when ordered and scaled. If you have a T-Shirt issue on the night then leave your name and email address at the T-shirt desk on the night or email [email protected] after the event.

To reduce paper waste we have decided to place sponsors flyers on the registration tables for you to pick up those that are of interest. The Will Guys using code QUAY5k will be down giving flyers and have set up a special offer for a free basic will package for all runners at the event.

Please watch the current safety video so you are aware of hazards. There are very few but if you are aware of them in advance you can anticipate and focus on getting those PB’s.

Some KEY safety points are highlighted below: Gateshead Millennium Bridge Bollards, Spray Painted Paving Stones, Turn Point (which is 180 degree turn so take care turning) along with the other street furniture shown in the safety video.

Finally please read current NPCC Run.Hide.Tell. leaflet to familiarise yourself with current government advice and we advice all to download Citizen Aid App.

A huge thank you in advance to all of the event staff including all volunteers, officials, marshall, sponsors, pacers and contractors who all go the extra mile to make the event run smoothly.

Gateshead Harriers & AC are proud to announce the Start Fitness Quayside 5k Road Race event on Wednesday 11th August 2021.
