Annual 10k road race and junior race along the Roker seafront promenade in support of Children's Cancer North.
The Sunderland 10k returns to Roker Seafront on Sunday 29 November, with the main race starting at 09:00. It's a fast, mostly flat coastal out-and-back: the first 5km run on closed roads before you join the Roker seafront promenade, a lap of Roker Park, and a finish along Marine Drive. If you're not quite up for the full distance, there's a junior race starting later that morning at 10:45.
The official charity partner is Children's Cancer North, an independent charity with over 40 years of heritage supporting children and families affected by childhood cancer across the North East and Cumbria. They fund early-phase trials at the Wolfson Childhood Cancer Research Centre in Newcastle and provide family support through the Great North Children's Hospital, so the money raised goes to work right here in the region.
RunThrough Events is staging the day. They're the UK's largest running community and event organiser, putting on more than 200 events a year and drawing over 150,000 entrants. Every runner gets a themed finisher medal, free race-day photos, and chip-timed results.
