This year’s Blaydon Race will host the NECAA North-East Road Race Championships for the first time on the event’s traditional date of 9th June. NECAA’s Road Running Secretary, Calum Johnson of Gateshead Harriers has won the prestigious race for the past four years and he is keen that other North-East club athletes join him in the event this year.
The event is part of a six race championship which includes the following events:

Blyth 10K, Sunday April 12th
Quayside 5K, Wednesday 22nd April
The Blaydon Race, Tuesday 9th June
The Great North Run, Sunday 13th September
Heaton Young Athlete’s Races 3K, Sunday November 8th
The Brampton to Carlisle Ten Mile Road Race, Sunday 15th November

As The Blaydon Race is always massively oversubscribed, NECAA have negotiated privileged access for its members. We have 100 entries which we have allocated as follows:

NECAA Championship Runners: Men Sub 31:30 for 10K or sub 15:20 for 5K, in the
past 24 months: 25 places, fastest runners take priority.
NECAA Championship Runners: Women: Sub 38:30 10K or sub19:00 5K, in the past
24 months: 25 places, fastest runners take priority.
NECAA Club Runners: Men: Who have run 50 mins of faster for 10K, in the past 24
months, on a first come first served basis.
NECAA Club Runners: Women: Who have run 55 mins or faster for 10K, in the past
24 months, on a first come first served basis.
In addition, we can nominate Elite runners who have achieved the following times:
Elite Men: Sub 30:30 10K or 14:45 5K, for a free entry.
Elite Women: Sub 36.00 10K or 18:00 5K, for a free entry.

Conditions: Please use this link to submit your entry (or scan the QR code below), indicating which category you are applying for and the race organisers will check your times against Power of Ten. Those that qualify and have been allocated an entry will be sent entry details by the race organisers and at this point you will pay your entry fee, unless you are an elite athlete.
We have done our best to both improve the strength and depth of the NECAA Championships whilst trying to be fair and inclusive to club members more widely. The race organiser’s decisions are final.

If you are just outside the times quoted please consider submitting your details in any event as there may not be 25 runners who qualify in your category.

Entries open on 1st April and close at midnight on 15th April.
