The Great North Run 2026

September 13, 2026

Join team brainstrust’s mission to help people with a brain tumour at the world’s biggest and best half marathon, with 60,000 runners taking on the route from Newcastle to South Shields each year. Did you miss out in a place in the September ballot?  Why risk missing out in a place in the January ballot, take up one of our charity places today! It’s famous for its inclusive atmosphere, unbeatable on-route entertainment, and warm Geordie welcome, not to mention the millions raised each year for worthy causes. From the rush of the Red Arrows flying overhead to the oggy-oggy-oggy chants, Great North Run magic can be hard to understand – until you’ve experienced it for yourself. Deadline for entries is 6th July. We are down to our last charity place for this event!
