The world’s most popular half marathon returns to the North East for one of the region’s most popular days! Every runner has a reason for taking on those 13.1 miles. This year, you can make your miles matter even more.

By running for Newcastle Foodbank, you’re not just taking part in an iconic event — you’re helping transform lives right here in our community.

Newcastle Foodbank is more than a place to collect food. It’s a vital lifeline. Every year, over 20,000 emergency food parcels support individuals and families facing hardship and isolation. Alongside food, the foodbank provides welfare advice and a compassionate network that brings hope when it’s needed most.

When you choose to fundraise for us, you’re helping families and children who are at the heart of everything we do. Your steps, your effort, your story — they all help provide dignity, stability, and brighter days for people across our city.

Your run can make a real difference. If you’re taking on the Great North Run, please consider raising money for us help ensure no one in our community is left behind.

Thank you for running with purpose!
