Each year over 56,000 runners take part, raising over £25 million for different charities. Running from central Newcastle, through Gateshead to finish in South Shields, the Great North Run is a truly iconic event.

2021 will be a landmark year for the run; in the absence of a physical event in 2020, this will be the 40th anniversary.
