This year we have six official places in the 2019 Great North Run.

Take part one of the biggest and most popular half marathons in the world and join 55,000 other runners on this amazing event.

Starting in the centre of Newcastle, the 13.1 mile route will take you over the iconic Tyne Bridge and through Gateshead to the coastal town of South Shields. Experience the crowds of supporters as they cheer you on to the finish line.

The BPA has a fundraising target of £300 for this event, and unlike some charities, no registration fee!
