Mark Nichols, chair of Northern Pride, which organises Newcastle Pride, said: “The LGBT 5k is a fun-filled event for both novice and experienced runners alike.

“I would like to thank Northern Frontrunners for offering such a great start to Newcastle Pride.”

The LGBT 5k covers a relatively flat route around the Town Moor, with prizes on offer for the first male and female finishers, as well and individual and fancy dress prizes and a free goody bag for everyone taking part.
