The GNR is for anyone, whether you are a beginner to running or a seasoned runner we're here to support you every step of the way, from training to the big celebrations once you cross the finish line.

"Great North Run is famous for its inclusive atmosphere, unbeatable on-route entertainment and warm Geordie welcome, not to mention the millions raised each year for worthy causes. From the rush of the Red Arrows flying overhead to the oggy-oggy-oggy chants, Great North Run magic can be hard to understand – until you’ve experienced it for yourself on the Newcastle to South Shields route."

We are delighted to have charity places this year running for #TeamElla! Over the last three years we have cheered over 30 amazing runners over the finish line of what has always been such an amazing day!
