North East Half Marathon Running Routes

Since 2020 I have been plotting running routes on Strava for my Sunday morning long runs. I've been trying to cover the areas from above the River Tyne down to around the River Tees.

Check out the images of some of the routes below. Blog posts covering each route are linked to at the base of this post.
