Great North Run 2026 - SOLD OUT

Applications have now closed, and all our places have been allocated for this event.

If you received a ballot place we would love to have your support at this event!

The AJ Bell Great North Run is the world’s biggest and best half marathon, with 60,000 runners taking on the route from Newcastle to South Shields each year. It’s famous for its inclusive atmosphere, unbeatable route-side entertainment and warm Geordie welcome!

Great North Run magic can be hard to understand – until you’ve experienced it for yourself!

The public ballot is now open! As charity places will be incredibly limited, we encourage entering the ballot as well in order to maximise your chances, and hopefully grow out team even larger! As a reminder charity places come at a cost and therefore we offer a lower entry fee, and then ask you to raise a certain amount. If you are successful in obtaining your own place, the entry fee is higher however there is no fundraising commitment – you set your own target! Our support to you, if you are running for PSPA, is exactly the same!
