Great North Run

Join our fabulous runners at the world's most popular half marathon!

The BUPA Great North Run is the world’s largest and most popular half marathon. With a buzzing atmosphere along the 13.1 mile course, it's always a day to remember. To get your guaranteed place with Age UK you need to commit to raising at least £350. If this sounds daunting, don't worry, it's easier than you think - and we'll give you all the help you need.

Join us and get top notch support

Join the Age UK team at the Great North Run, and help ensure that thousands of older people get the help, support and respect they deserve. Last year we helped people claim over £100 million in benefits they should have received, and with your help we'll do even more this year.

In return for your hard work and commitment, we'll be there to support you every step of the way, providing:

  • a personal events fundraiser to support you through the process,
  • a personalised running vest,
  • a training and fundraising pack, packed with ideas and materials to help you fundraise,
  • a huge Age UK cheering point on the course,
  • a post-race meeting area in the charity village to pick up your goody bag and relax!
