Newcastle’s Full Circle Run Club is the perfect blend of social running and craft beer culture – a laid-back weekly run that ends where some of the best conversations often begin. Anchored at Full Circle Brew Co. in Hoult’s Yard, this crew combines great routes with great company and some very good post-run rewards.
The club meets every Thursday at 6pm outside the brewery’s taproom – in Ouseburn. From there, runners set out for a choice of distances (typically a 5 km route) that take in scenic urban and green-space paths, including stretches through Jesmond Dene and the River Tyne before winding back. A great way to combine a workout with an exploration of Newcastle’s leafy suburbs. Keep your eyes peeled for their special edition runs, Couch to 5km support groups, and trail hikes.
This is a crew built around vibe, not velocity. The pace stays friendly and social – expect smiles, mid-run chats, group photos and relaxed steps as people reconnect after work and use the miles as a way to switch off together. It’s the sort of run club where shared experience means more than personal bests.
And it wouldn’t be a Full Circle run without the full circle ending – back at the brewery for a pint, pizza and a good old natter. Photos from the club’s social feed show groups lingering by Full Circle’s outdoor spaces and taproom, suggesting that post-run hang outs are part of the ritual almost as much as the run itself.
Whether you’re new to running, want to shake up your training, or just love meeting local people who run at a more leisurely pace, Full Circle Run Club sits at the crossroads of community, running and craft beer culture in Newcastle. It’s free, it’s friendly, and it feels like a club that knows that running together can be double the fun.
