As we count down to New Year’s Eve, we want to say a huge thank you to the partners who are helping bring the very first HogmanHOWAY 5K to life. Events of this scale don’t happen without the support, enthusiasm and collaboration of organisations across the North East, and we’re proud to be working with such brilliant teams.
Our Title Partner – Develop North
We’re delighted to welcome Develop North PLC as our title partner for the inaugural HogmanHOWAY 5K. Their backing is helping us deliver a brand-new New Year’s Eve celebration in the heart of Newcastle.
Our Charity Partner – The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation
We’re honoured to support The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, part of Newcastle Hospitals Charity. Run for the Foundation, request a fundraising pack or donate directly. Every step helps raise funds for the planned Sir Bobby Robson Institute, a world-leading cancer treatment and research centre for the North East.
Northumbria University – Venue Partner
A huge thank you to Northumbria University for hosting us and supporting the event across their campus and sports facilities, including spreading the word throughout their gyms! We recently welcomed Chancellor George Clarke and students for a brilliant photo call celebrating the partnership.
Maldron Hotel – Official Event Hotel
The Maldron Hotel Newcastle is the official hotel partner for the HogmanHOWAY 5K. Our elite runners will be staying there for race weekend and the hotel will host the New Year’s Eve after-party too. Bring your race bib along and get 20% off!
Start Fitness – Race Pack Partner
A big thanks to Start Fitness for hosting race pack collection in-store from 27-30 December and for very generously adding free socks to every race pack. We’ve already had a great social run from Start Fitness to the Maldron Hotel to celebrate the partnership!
And to our local authority partners
Thank you to Newcastle City Council and the North East Combined Authority for their continued support in bringing safe, inspiring mass participation events to the city.
Together, these partners are helping us deliver a brand-new New Year’s Eve tradition for the North East.
Buffs & medals are ready!
