A social run, a dip in the North Sea and good people. North Shields Run Club x Dip Club.

We’ll be running approximately 5K at an inclusive, conversational pace, with regular regroup points and a back marker to make sure nobody is left behind.

Whether you’re a regular runner, returning after a break or joining a run club for the first time, you’ll be very welcome.

After the run, we’ll head down for a social sea dip with Dip Club.

Both parts are completely optional - come for the run, come for the dip, or join us for both. The idea is simply to get people moving, chatting and enjoying the coast together.

This is a free event, but booking is required so we can manage numbers safely.

If you’re running, please arrive around 10–15 minutes before the advertised start time for check-in and a short safety briefing.

A few things to remember:

Wear suitable running footwear and clothing for the conditions.

Bring water if you need it.

If you’re dipping, bring swimwear, a towel and plenty of warm layers for afterwards.

Only enter the water if you feel comfortable and well enough to do so.

Follow instructions from the run leaders and Dip Club team.

Be considerate of pedestrians and other path and beach users.

Please cancel your ticket through Eventbrite if you can no longer attend, so the space can be offered to someone else.

Participants take part at their own risk.

Everyone’s welcome.
