Why take part?

Stretching over 13 miles, this iconic city to sea course starts in Newcastle and finishes in South Shields.

Complete with stunning views, charity buses, live music, BBC coverage and even the flying red arrows, this half marathon promises to be an absolutely unforgettable event!

The reward? Apart from the huge round of applause and deafening cheers as you cross the finish line, a shiny medal, exclusive finisher's T-shirt, goodie bag AND that overwhelming sense of achievement for accomplishing such an amazing physical challenge... you will be raising much needed funds for Open Arms and directly supporting vulnerable children in Malawi. 

The Great North Run will change your life!

“Whether you are a runner, jogger, walker or wish-I-could person, you need to experience the Great North Run - it will change your life. This is no ordinary half marathon. The Great North Run route is lined with amazing people from start to finish cheering you on, fellow runners next to you smiling, laughing, talking and emotional. The most special thing about the Great North Run is the charities who benefit from the smiling, laughing, talking and emotional people. Why else would you push yourself? Running for Open Arms Malawi in 2022 was the most heart warming thing I have done and I cannot wait to run again in 2023!” - Bev, GNR 2022 & 2023 participant and Open Arms fundraising hero!
