Good Friday Road Races
This popular event has been held for over thirty years in the West
End of Newcastle but due to ever increasing traffic the races have
been moved to the Newburn Riverside Park. There are seven different
events with ages ranging from 11 years to 60 years. The four times
2.2 mile senior event on the Fenham course was the highlight of
the programme and the course record of 9 minutes 46 seconds set
by Mike McLeod in 1977 will now never be beaten.

Norman Woodcock Memorial Road Race
This six-mile road race has been held since 1974 in memory of Norman
Woodcock who kept the club afloat after the Second World War. Originally
a 10K race held at Westerhope, the club was forced to change the
course due to Metro extensions, and from 1989 the event has been
held in High Gosforth Park. The Race over the years has had many
famous winners including Brendan Foster, Steve Cram, Paul Davies-Hale,
and Mike Mcleod who has won it on no less than ten occasions.
