Great North Run 2024

Every year, more than 60,000 runners come from across the globe to take on the Great North Run, the world’s largest, most prestigious half-marathon. 

This iconic race has a hard to beat atmosphere as thousands of people line the streets to come along and support from the start in the heart of Newcastle all the way to the finish along the seafront in South Shields. Run for a friend, family member or run for yourself. Run with #TeamMDUK and experience a half-marathon like no other!
