Frequently asked questions
Do you have a question about the event? We’ve got you covered.
The 13.1-mile route goes from the centre of Newcastle to the coastline of South Shields.
Vests are sent approximately 4-6 weeks before race day. Once you have a place confirmed and let us know what size vest you need, our team will arrange to post it to you.
If you take one of our charity places, we ask that you raise a minimum of £350. If you have your own place in the Great North Run ballot and run for us with that place, you can set your own target. We will be here to support you and provide lots of inspiration to help you hit your target.
The easiest way to fundraise is by setting up a JustGiving page. If you collected money on a JustGiving page, the money you raise will come directly to us so there’s nothing extra you need to do.
If you’ve collected any cash, you can pay it in using one of the options below:

“My family and friends see what amazing work goes on in the NHS through me and the media, and see how hard staff work. They know the more we can do through the charity sector makes a real difference to patients, their families, and the staff too.”AlisonNHS Charities Together fundraiser and NHS worker
