Great CityGames

The Great CityGames is a major street athletics event[1] held twice annually in Manchester, Newcastle and Gateshead.

The former is held in conjunction to the Great Manchester Run, a major 10k generally held on the Sunday. The first event was in May 2009.[2]

The latter is held in conjunction to the Great North Run, a major half marathon attracting world-famous athletes. The first event was in September 2009.[3]

The event was originally designed to promote the Great Runs, however, the Games soon became a major British athletics event, attracting famous athletes such as Usain Bolt, David Rudisha and Kim Collins.
