Register for a charity place

Our charity places have sold out for the 2024 Great North Run.

We are currently operating a waiting list, if you'd like to be added to this, please do register and we'll be in touch if a place becomes available.

A Bliss running vest: You'll get your own Bliss running vest to wear on the day.

It was an amazing day. People talking to us along the way to share their stories of their premature babies. So proud to have run with my 20 year old beautiful daughter born 10 weeks early.
