The Great North Run is the world’s biggest and best half marathon. The iconic route will take you from the bustling centre 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.
