Great North Run 2025

  • Run
  • Half marathon
  • Sunday 7th September 2025
  • North East
  • Entry Fee: £25
  • Minimum Sponsorship: £350

Starting just outside Newcastle city centre, this incredible half marathon will take you over the Tyne Bridge, through Gateshead, into South Tyneside before finishing along the stunning north-east coastline into South Shields. Cheered on by fantastic crowds, with entertainment and music along the route and a finish line atmosphere like no other, your 13.1 mile challenge will be unforgettable.

We have a limited number of charity places available each year, and at the minute for 2025 they are sold out, though we’re trying to get hold of some more. Join our waiting list and we’ll let you know if a place becomes available.

If you’re one of the lucky ones and have secured your own place through the Great North Run ballot, we’d love to have you as part of our team. All we ask is that you raise as much as you can, and you’ll receive all the same support as our charity place runners.

Every member of #TeamHRUK will receive:

  • A Heart Research UK running vest
  • Fundraising and training support to help you along the way
  • Personal support from a member of the Heart Research UK team
  • A huge welcome at the finish line

Your dedication to training and fundraising will help to save lives. Join our team today.
