Starting in Newcastle upon Tyne, crossing the iconic Tyne Bridge and ending at South Shields coast, this fantastic 13.1 mile route is filled with musical entertainment, charity cheer buses and thousands of spectators all rooting for you. It's not one to miss.
To secure one of our limited charity places in the Great North Run 2025, you are required to pay a £20 early bird registration fee and commit to raising a minimum sponsorship target of £350 excluding gift aid.
Own place
Junior and Mini Own Place
If your youngster has secured a place in the Junior or Mini Great North Run we would love to support them (and you!). As you have already secured you own place in this event, there will be no minimum sponsorship target, however every penny raised will help to rebuild lives after stroke.

Why join Team Stroke?
As part of Team Stroke you'll receive a free running vest, training tips, fundraising materials and advice and one-to-one support; we'll also be there on the day, ready and waiting to cheer you on as you run past our double-decker cheerbus! We'll also be waiting to celebrate with you post-event in the Charity Village, with plenty of drinks and snacks.
Everyone deserves to live the best life they can after a stroke. Taking part in the Great North Run means that you are part of the team helping us to continue the work that we do, such as funding stroke support services and researching better treatments, care and rehabilitation.
If you have any questions, please contact our fundraising team at greatnorthrun@stroke.org.uk.
