Great North Run
Exact date TBC, September 2025
The Great North Run is the best half marathon event in the UK!
A huge party fills the streets of Newcastle to cheer on participants as you race 13.1 miles from Newcastle central to South Shields. To take part you need to apply for a ballot place or a charity place.
We offer a limited number of free charity places for the Great North Run every year, to form our fantastic Team Mummy's Star. The ballot for 2025 is likely to open in January 2025. You can find out more at their website. If you receive a place let us know that you want to join the team and run in aid of Mummy's Star.
Our 2024 team is already assembled and we will be opening applications for free charity places for 2025 in Dec '24 / Jan '25.
We support all team members - ballot or charity placed - on their fundraising journey with training plans, fundraising tips, merchandise & much more!
Remember: if you receive a ballot place you will be responsible for covering the registration fee. As this event is organised by a third party, you should refer to their communications and instructions if you have questions or concerns, both before and after the event.
