10k & GNR poster with DEADLINESThe Great North Run is the one of the world’s most popular and iconic half marathons, with its route taking you between the city streets of Gateshead in Newcastle to the picturesque coastal finish in South Shieldswith plenty of live music and ‘bands on the run’ to keep you motivated every step of the way! If you choose to join St Gemma’s Hospice team, you will be making a vital contribution to the running costs of St. Gemma’s Hospice, which currently stand at £23,500 per day.

Leading up to the event, they will provide you with training tips, a free High-spec St. Gemma’s Hospice running vest and lots of fundraising support and advice. On the day of the event, they will have a marquee at the finish line, where you will receive hot and cold refreshments, snacks, and most importantly, a well-deserved sports massage to ease any aches and pains after such a fabulous achievement.
