About the AJ Bell Great North Run
The world's biggest half marathon!
60,000 incredible participants run from the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne to South Shields each year! From the rush of the Red Arrows flying overhead to the oggy-oggy-oggy chants, Great North Run magic can be hard to understand- until you’ve experienced it for yourself.
