The Great North Run is the largest half marathon in the world, taking place annually in North East England each September. Participants run between Newcastle upon Tyne and South Shields.

The magic of the Great North Run can be hard to understand until you’ve experienced it for yourself. The AJ Bell Great North Run is famous for its inclusive atmosphere, unbeatable en-route entertainment and warm Geordie welcome. Not to mention the millions raised each year for worthy causes!
