A huge thank you to everyone who took part in The Start Fitness Blaydon Race 2024! Your enthusiasm and energy made it a massive success.
We couldn't have done it without our incredible volunteers. It takes around 120 marshals to cover the race route and another 80 to manage the start and finish lines. On behalf of Blaydon Harrier and Athletics Club, we want to say a massive thank you to everyone.
A special thank you to Lynne Marr and her team of officials.

We also want to thank Newcastle City Council, Gateshead Council, Northumbria Police, Hatton Traffic Management, and the Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service for their support in making the 2024 race possible.
