My Story

This September, I'm challenging myself to run the GREAT NORTH RUN 13.1 miles to raise money to fund vital research, care, and support for people living with MND and their families. I'd be so grateful for your support, anything you can donate really will help to make a difference. It will help to keep me motivated as I take on this epic challenge too

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.
