Event Information
Middlesbrough Tees Pride 10k - Sunday 21st September
Is the Middlesbrough Tees Pride 10k for you?
Everyone agrees that the “10k” is one of the most enjoyable events ever staged in Middlesbrough. It brings together serious athletes, fun-runners, fundraisers and families in an atmosphere of festival and friendship.
In Middlesbrough we encourage people to take up healthier lifestyles and the 10k has been a springboard, as it encourages more people to be more active. For many of the runners irrespective of their age or fitness level, the Middlesbrough Tees Pride 10k has been their first ever race.
