Join us for the epic Great North Run
This iconic event is recognised as one of the world’s best half marathons, so why not don your running shoes and join us at the start line? The atmospheric route starts in Newcastle city centre, with runners crossing the famous Tyne Bridge before heading through Gateshead and to the finish line in South Shields.
If you have your own place and would like to raise funds for us, we would love to hear from you.
Why run with us?
Despite years of ground-breaking and progressive research, cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with 1 in 2 of us receiving a diagnosis in our lifetime. We urgently need to start new cancer cures - but we can't do it alone.
Taking part in an event can not only be really rewarding for you, it's also a great way to raise the vital funds we need to support ground-breaking cancer research. We only fund the brightest new ideas in research and each project could be the start of a new cancer cure of the future that will help us put an end to cancer.
How will we support you?
When you join Team Curestarter, you will receive:
- A welcome pack, full of tips and fundraising advice
- A free charity running top
- Unlimited support from our dedicated Events team
- Support on the day and meet-up in the finishers village after the race
If you have any questions, please contact our events team on +44 (0)300 777 7910, or email [email protected].
