Story

The Sunshine Run 5k is an annual charity run hosted by The Sunshine Fund, a small North East charity, sponsored by

This event raises vital funds to support children living with disabilities and terminal illness in the region with specialist equipment that can't be accessed through statutory services.

The route is fast and flat and takes runners past Newcastle Quayside, down by the business park and back to a spectacular photo finish in front of the city's iconic bridges.

Whilst additional fundraising isn't required, it is very much welcomed and appreciated! Every penny raised stays in the region, making a direct difference to the daily lives of babies, kids and young people living with additional needs, and their wider communities.

Thank you! 💛
