Great North Run – 13th September 2026

We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with the AJ Bell Great North Run again for 2026! This is one of the world’s biggest and best half marathons, with 60,000 runners taking on the 13.1 mile route from Newcastle to South Shields each year. It’s 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 thousands of cheering spectators to the oggy-oggy-oggy chants, Great North Run magic can be hard to understand – until you’ve experienced it for yourself!
Each charity place has a minimum fundraising commitment of £400. Each runner will receive a free SUDC running vest or T-shirt and all the support that you need to make the very most of this incredible event. This SUDC UK-partnered event will be very special for our charity and we would love you to join us. Please click the button below to register your interest!
