BUPA Great North Run

The Great North Run

Now in its 30th year, the Great North Run has grown over the course of its history to become the world's largest half marathon.

Since the first Great North Run in 1980, hundreds of thousands of people have started the race in Newcastle and wound there way to the finish line on the wonderful Tyneside coast. By running this amazing race for St John Ambulance you will help to make a real difference to our life saving work.

Good luck to all our runners taking part this year!
