Nothing like the Great North Run but if a half-hour energetic run along the Big River is more your idea of winding down after the first day and before dinner, you won’t be the only one. A group of delegates will be donning their running shoes at 17.30 on Friday and setting off on a route which includes 2 bridges and some of the public art that Gateshead is renowned for.

Hopefully the weather will be kind but if not, there is yoga and salsa too.

If you would like to join the run, please contact Andrew Leigh at andrew.leigh@allegrolt.co.uk.
