13 pictures from the inaugural Morpeth 10k race

The inaugural Morpeth 10k took place at the weekend in the town centre in front of enthusiastic crowds.

The race featured a road-closed, out-and-back route with the start and finish lines positioned in front of the historic Morpeth Clock Tower.

The race was set off by Jim Alder, the marathon winner at the 1966 Commonwealth Games.

Morpeth 10k race director Chris Parr, from organisers RunThrough, said: “We are delighted with the turnout and enthusiasm for the first-ever Morpeth 10k.

“Partnering with Morpeth Harriers and Athletic Club has been instrumental in making this event a success, and we are grateful for their support and commitment to fostering athletic excellence in the community.”
