Join #TeamCNE and turn every step into life-changing support for babies, children, young people and families across the North East!

Get your charity place for the Great North Run 2026

The world's largest half marathon, 13.1 miles of iconic scenery running through Newcastle, Gateshead, and South Shields. Every step you take with #TeamCNE will create a life-changing impact for babies, children, young people and families across the North East.

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!
