The Great North Run
The Great North Run 2024 will be held on Sunday 8 September 2024.
The 13.1 mile route is lined by thousands of spectators. The course starts in Newcastle upon Tyne and takes runners through the city centre, over the iconic Tyne Bridge and right out towards the coast in South Shields.
Broadcast live on the BBC, over 57,000 runners each year take on the challenge. It’s an increasingly popular race and not to be missed.
We’ll support you every step of the way and provide you with:
- Dedicated fundraising and training support, including a fundraising pack and regular updates.
- Your own personalised Diabetes UK technical running top.
- Free 'Crazy Hair'.
- Lots of support from our Cheer Squad along the route.
- Refreshments and a massage at our marquee in the post event charity village.
- Exclusive access to our Facebook group for you and your fellow team #DUK members.
Please see below for more details, or email events.fundraising@diabetes.org.uk if you have any questions.
Charity Place
Pay a £30 registration fee to secure your charity place and then pledge to raise a minimum sponsorship of £350 by one month after the event. A charity place with Diabetes UK gives you dedicated fundraising and training support from our team, a free running vest, and an invite to our celebratory post-race reception.
You pay today: £30
You raise: £350
If you’re worried about hitting the full fundraising target, you can choose our flexi-fundraising option. Pay £100 to secure your charity place and cover some of your fundraising target. Then pledge to raise a lower minimum sponsorship of £250 by one month after the event. A charity place with Diabetes UK gives you dedicated fundraising and training support from our team, a free running vest and an invite to our celebratory post-race reception.
You donate today: £100
You raise: £250
Prefer not to ask for sponsorship but still want a charity place in the Great North Run? You can choose to cover the minimum fundraising yourself and self-donate £350 to secure your place. There is no further fundraising required with this option, but you can still set up a page if you would like to. You’ll receive full support from our team including a free running vest, dedicated training advice and an invite to our celebratory post-race reception.
You donate today: £350
Own place
If you have bought your own place in the event, directly from the Great North Run website, you can still join the Diabetes UK Team. You’ll get all the benefits like a free running vest, training and fundraising advice and an invite to our celebratory post-race reception. There’s no minimum sponsorship requirement, we just ask you to raise as much as you can for Diabetes UK.
