There’s no denying the end of the summer is upon us. Darker nights are creeping upon us and cooler weather is settling in for a long winter but there is still time to enjoy some of the great sporting events taking place in the city this September. September is a busy time for us with Rugby, a half Marathon and tourists booking a last-minute break so make sure to book your stay in PREMIER SUITES serviced apartments in Newcastle soon to avoid disappointment.

The Great North Run -12th September
If you prefer the solitude and perseverance of running rather than team sports, sign up for the Great North Run on 12th September. 57,000 determined runners, walkers and joggers come together to make the Great North Run the world’s biggest half marathon raising millions in much-needed funds for good causes in the meantime.
This year the route will be a little different to facilitate social distancing and to ensure the safety of all competitors. In a change to the usual iconic route, the runners will now start in Newcastle and cross the Tyne Bridge twice, running through the city centre and finishing on the Great North Road.
Instead of the usual shotgun start, runners will be allocated specific time slots with runners starting the race hours apart in some cases. This is to ensure social distance and to ensure that transport and roads are not too busy either before or after the event. Visitors, travellers, and spectators should expect delays and avoid driving in and around the city on18th September if possible.
The finishers village will be located on the Town Moor, an ideal place to refresh, refuel and meet finishers to congratulate them for a job well done.
