This summer at Great North Run Culture we launch our 11th year of cultural programming which is inspired by the Great North Run.

Great North Run Culture explores and celebrates the areas where sport and art meet, through art exhibitions and installations, films and moving image, workshops, events and community activities we are always looking for new ways to give a different perspective on the world’s largest half marathon.  This year, we hope we’ve put together a programme to help you do just that.

Join us at any one, or all, of our events over the coming months!
