North Tyneside road closures: Every closed road in Whitley Bay and Tynemouth for the North Tyneside 10k

In addition to Easter weekend, many people in North Tyneside will be looking forward to the upcoming four day weekend as a chance to push for a new personal best as the North Tyneside 10k returns to the region.

This year the race will start in North Shields, working its way along the fish quay before heading along the coast to Tynemouth, Cullercoats and Whitley Bay before coming to an end at St Mary's Lighthouse.

The route means key parts of the coastline will be inaccessible to cars for parts of the day.

The North Tyneside 10k will take place on Sunday, March 31.
