Team Newcastle - GNR 2026

George Kelly is raising money for Newcastle University

Great North Run 2026 · 13 September 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Team Newcastle will be taking on the biggest half marathon in the world. Every step will go towards supporting young people, from economically challenged backgrounds so they can access a Newcastle University education.

Story

I am part of Team Newcastle and we are raising money to provide vital support to our students. Every step taken along the 13.1 mile route will raise money to provide vital support such as: access and participation scholarships and bursaries, hardship funding, IT equipment, food supplies, course materials, books and much more.

Donations will go towards our mission of making higher education accessible to those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds, including those fleeing war and conflict around the world and on our very doorstep in the North-East where, in some neighbourhoods, only 12% of pupils progress to higher education.

We don't want any student to miss out on what makes belonging to Newcastle University so special. Your support will help change the trajectory of a young person’s life.
