The Great North Run 2026

Join the Brain Tumour Charity team in 2026 for the iconic Great North Run!

The countdown to the world’s biggest half marathon is on and you can be part of the action by signing up and joining our team.

The AJ Bell Great North Run sees 60,000 incredible people take their place on the start line in Newcastle upon Tyne and travel 13.1 miles towards the beautiful coastline of South Shields.

If it’s a Geordie welcome you’re looking for then be prepared for the goosebumps as you hear the roar of thousands of supporters cheering your name, all the way from start to finish.

The Great North Run is a run for everyone, of all ages and abilities, whether it’s your first event or your 50th. It’s an inclusive festival of running, with music blazing, crowds buzzing, legs pumping and fists bumping. There’s nothing quite like it! Don’t miss out, sign up to join our team.

We’ll support your Great North Run journey with fundraising and training tips plus a free running vest, iTab on completion of the race, cheer point on route, post race refreshments & massage at our charity marquee and step by step, you’ll help us to beat brain tumours faster!
