Great North Run

Famous for its inclusive atmosphere, unbeatable on-route entertainment and warm Geordie welcome, not to mention the millions raised each year for worthy causes, Great North Run magic can be hard to understand – until you’ve experienced it for yourself on the Newcastle to South Shields route.
Could 2025 be your year?
The run will take place on 7 September 2025 and the ballot for entries will open soon! Sign up for a reminder here.
