About 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!'
Frequently asked questions
How do I fundraise for my event?
We're here to help with any fundraising queries and are more than happy to talk through ideas with you. We recommend starting by setting up a fundraising page on JustGiving.
Our top fundraising ideas include bake sales and pub quizzes. You can find all our fundraising resources here, including our paper sponsorship form.
What happens if I can’t reach my fundraising pledge?
We're here to support you with your fundraising as much as possible. Get in touch by emailing running@shelter.org.uk or call us on 0344 515 1190.
Not reaching your sponsorship pledge affects what Shelter can achieve, so please make sure you're confident in reaching this target before signing up to the event.
Raising a minimum fundraising pledge
It's important to raise a minimum fundraising pledge, as we invest in places at charity events. Each place is important to ensure we raise as much as possible to support our vital work.
You can reach your pledge through sponsorship from family, friends and colleagues, plus other forms of fundraising such as bake sales or quizzes.
