Great North Run 2026
September 13
The Great North Run is back and #TeamCNE are getting ready to make every mile count!
The world’s largest half marathon, 13.1 miles of iconic scenery running through Newcastle, Gateshead, and South Shields and Team Children North East has 70 spaces up for grabs!
Whether you’re an experienced runner, taking on your first half marathon, or simply looking for a new challenge, #TeamCNE is for everyone. You don’t need to be fast- just ready to have fun, challenge yourself, and be a part of a supportive team doing something amazing!
By taking one of our charity spaces, we ask that you aim for a minimum suggested fundraising target of £300. However, we understand times are tough! Our fundraising team will support you every step of the way with tips, guidance and resources.
What you’ll get as part of #TeamCNE
- Secured entry to the Great North Run 2026
- A fundraiser pack, including your Children North East Vest
- Personal support from our fundraising team with training and fundraising advice
- Post-run celebrations with treats in the charity village
What do you think? Are you ready to lace up those trainers and stock up on the energy gels? We’d love to have you on #TeamCNE!
