Great North Run
Run the Great North Run in support of Encephalitis International!
The AJ Bell Great North Run is the world’s biggest half marathon, with 60,000 runners taking on the route from Newcastle to South Shields.
Distance: 13.1 miles, half marathon
Location: Newcastle, UK
Famous for its inclusive and incredible atmosphere, unbeatable route-side entertainment along the closed-road route and, of course, a warm Geordie welcome!
Each year we are incredibly grateful to those signing up to the Great North Run who ask their friends, family and colleagues to sponsor them, or donate to Encephalitis International in support of their half marathon efforts. If you’d like to take on the challenge whilst supporting our work, we have a number of charity places available for the 2025 Great North Run.
