  • About the event

    The Great North Run is the world’s most iconic half marathon. The event, which is shown live on the BBC, starts in Newcastle city centre and finishes 13.1 miles later in the coastal town of South Shields.

    60,000 people will lace up their trainers on Sunday, 13th September to complete the epic course and raise millions of pounds for charity. And if you’ve ever wanted to be part of it yourself – now you can!
