GREAT NORTH RUN SHAKE OUT at Kip & Nook

Experience the thrill of running with the PRE Great North Run Shake Out, an exhilarating prelude to one of the world's most prestigious races. This event offers two distinct options for runners: a leisurely 5km route that allows you to set your own pace and enjoy the scenic surroundings at Kip & Nook, or a competitive 10km race designed for those looking to push their limits.
The 5km option is perfect for beginners, families with young children, and anyone seeking an enjoyable day out. The course winds through picturesque landscapes where runners can soak in the atmosphere and take in the beauty of the area at a relaxed pace.
