We’re thrilled to be heading back to the coast for our Jingle, Jog & Brekkie festive social in 2026 — returning to the beautiful shores of Seaton Sluice, Northumberland for a morning of sandy strides and seasonal cheer 🎄✨

This much-loved tradition gives us the perfect excuse to share a brilliant coastal route with you — and to refuel in style at the ever-welcoming Astley Arms, where breakfast and banter are always top notch 🥓☕️

✨ Joining Us

---

The Jingle, Jog & Brekkie is open to all Gosforth Harriers — juniors and seniors alike. Whether you’re running, cheering, or just coming along for the breakfast, we’d love to see you there 💚🤍

📩 All members will receive a notification via Spond. Please respond to confirm your attendance so we know how many to expect.

🍳 We’ll be letting the team at the Astley Arms know how many hungry Harriers to expect — and we want to make sure they’re ready to welcome the full crew in festive style!

🥓 Ensure you secure your breakfast by purchasing your meal via our online shop.

So dust off the Santa hats, lace up the trainers, and get your name down — it wouldn’t be the same without you 🎅🎄

🏃‍♂️ Route

---

Our Jingle, Jog & Brekkie takes us on a scenic out-and-back coastal route, covering roughly 5.7 miles along the sands of Seaton Sluice.

🎄 The beauty of this run is its flexibility — you can cover as much or as little of the route as you feel comfortable with. Whether you fancy the full stretch or a shorter festive jog, everyone finishes back at the meeting point together before we head over to the Astley Arms for a well-earned breakfast 🍳☕️

No matter your pace or distance, the emphasis is on fun, friendship, and festive spirit — no Harrier is left behind 💚🤍
