Great North Run
The 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 if for yourself on the Newcastle to South Shields route.
Location: Starting in the middle of Newcastle on the Central Motorway you will then pass through Jesmond, Haymarket, Monument and Central Station before making your way across the iconic Tyne Bridge from Newcastle to Gateshead where you will see the sights of The Sage and Gateshead Stadium. From there you will make your way through South Tyneside towards the home stretch in South Shields, welcomed by the wonderful sea view.
In return for your support you will receive:
- a guaranteed place in the event
- a fundraising toolkit to give you ideas on how to reach your target
- support from your local regional fundraiser to help you with your fundraising and answer any questions about the event
- a bespoke RAF Benevolent Fund running vest.
