Join Team ShelterAbout the Great North Run
This iconic race is widely considered to be the world's greatest half marathon, with around 60,000 runners each year.
The route takes you across the famous Tyne Bridge and towards the seafront finish line in South Shields.
When you run for Shelter, you'll be joining the fight to end the housing emergency and defending the right to a safe, secure and affordable home for everyone.

Join us in defending the right to a safe home
Thanks to fundraisers like you, last year we were able to support 17,281
households through our emergency helpline
and 15,478
through our local hubs.
Every mile run, every drop of sweat, and every pound raised will make a difference. Daniel Keenan, a Shelter runner, said:
'Thanks for a great day #TeamShelter and the amazing cheer squad at eight miles! It was a hot one but a belting day – and that run along the seaside at the end!'
Fundraising for Shelter
We recommend you start by setting up a fundraising page on JustGiving and asking friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. You can also organise an event such as a bake sale or quiz. See our fundraising resources for more inspiration.
Please make sure you’re confident in reaching the fundraising pledge before you sign up. We invest in places at charity events and need to raise as much as possible for our fight against housing injustice.
Our friendly Events team are on hand to support you with your fundraising. If you have a question or want to talk through ideas, email running@shelter.org.uk or call us on 0344 515 1190.
