Great North Run Charity Places

The world's leading half marathon, the Great North Run, attracts nearly 60,000 runners for the 13.1 mile course from Newcastle upon Tyne to South Shields. You can get Great North Run Charity Places with Alder Hey.

The next run is on 8th September 2019. Join us.

Recently the Great North Run took its place in history as it became the first International Association of Athletics Federations event in the world to welcome its millionth finisher.

“It was an awesome day, despite the horrible weather. The atmosphere was incredible. I completed it in 2 hours and 34 minutes and raised just over £1,000. Remembering why I choose Alder Hey and the cause definitely spurred me on!”

By Louise, Alder Hey runner
