This was the inaugural (I hope) running of this event, held in the evening of Hogmanay in the centre of Newcastle. I never thought about doing a New Year race before but it was a great atmosphere!
Not a PB race – too congested and too dark – but at this time of year we were after a fun run instead, and this delivered.
I am properly hibernating for the rest of the winter now. Training break for two months (just keeping things ticking over via my usual run schedule) and then a baseline half marathon to see where I am, because that will be my main focus for 2026. Looking forward to it.
