My Story

Hi all, 

This year I have chosen the NSPCC to raise money for via running the Great North Run - I'm hoping to get a personal best this year!!! - NSPCC demonstrates brilliant work with children and young people and the familes who try hard to support them - Therefore please offer a donation of any size to support their hugely appreciated cause. 

Take a look at their website for details of the help and support they offer and the ways we can help the charity. 

Thank you! Alice x

60,000 determined and dedicated runners make the AJ Bell Great North Run the World’s biggest and best half marathon – famous for its warm North East welcome, unbeatable atmosphere and the millions raised for good causes.

We’ll see runners back on the AJ Bell Great North Run, city to sea course, on Sunday as we return to our traditional finish line in South Shields. The AJ Bell Great North Run is an opportunity for us all to come together and support one another.

If you're unable to run and have to withdraw from the 2024 AJ Bell Great North Run, you have the option to defer your 2024 AJ Bell Great North Place to the next year.  You can find more information here.
