The AJ Bell Great North Run - the world's best right here in the UK

The Great North Run is the world’s biggest and best half marathon. The iconic route will take you from the bustling center of Newcastle, up to the stunning coastline of South Shields. The atmosphere is electric, and the crowd will be roaring behind you. This 13-mile epic challenge from city to coast is a highlight in the running calendar and an amazing way to raise vital funds for St John Ambulance. 

We’ll be there to help you meet your fundraising targets and to make the most out of your half marathon experience.
 
By choosing to run for St John Ambulance, you'll receive:  
  • a St John Ambulance running vest
  • access to our Fundraising and Events Facebook Group
  • access to our training partner, Runningwithus
  • fundraising support from our dedicated team
  • access to our training plans
  • regular newsletters with top tips for training and fundraising
I was really proud to be running for St John Ambulance, especially when I saw two people collapse and the St John Ambulance team were right there to help them. Yoko, Runner
