Are you a keen runner?

We are looking for runners to join our team and take part in the world’s largest half marathon on behalf of the British Gymnastics Foundation. Take to the streets and celebrate the 40^th anniversary of this iconic race.

This year, the race will take place on Sunday 13^th September starting in the centre of Newcastle and finishing along the beautiful coast of South Shields.

The main ballot has now closed, but we are offering the opportunity for four runners to enter the race. The registration fee will be £55 and we ask that you raise £250 for the Foundation.

You’ll get loads of fundraising tips and advice to help you reach your target and we can also offer plenty of training advice to make sure that you are ready for the big day! Running the Great North Run for us not only helps to raise funds, but also helps to raise awareness of our life-changing programmes. This means that more people living with dementia could gain access to our ground-breaking Love to Move class, or a young gymnast in crisis could be supported through our Hardship Grants to stay in the sport they love.

To register your interest and join our team, please email [email protected]
