Great North Run

Join us for the Great North Run this September and run one the world's most popular half marathons whilst supporting people living in the most vulnerable communities on the planet. This iconic event sells out every year, so we recommend applying for one of our places early to avoid disappointment.

Starting in Newcastle, this city-to-coast route takes you across the famous Tyne Bridge, through vibrant city streets and finishes in South Shields with incredible views of the North Sea. So whether you’re aiming for a new personal best or completing your first half marathon, we'd love you to join Team Concern!

As part of Team Concern you'll receive:

A Concern Worldwide T-shirt
A fundraising pack and support from a dedicated fundraiser to help you smash your target
Regular team emails
