Great North Run

 

5 October 2008

We have now filled all of our guaranteed places in this year’s Great North Run. If you have managed to secure your own place in the race through the general ballot why not run for Breast Cancer Care and use your place to show you care. Simply email us all your details to the address below and we will send you a race support pack and running vest nearer the race date.

If you’d like to receive information about our guaranteed places in the 2009 Great North Run then please email us your contact details and we be in touch later on in the year.

As the world's biggest half marathon, with over 50,000 runners pounding the streets of Newcastle, Gateshead and South Shields every year, this is a race not to be missed. As one of the most exciting events in the sporting calendar, it draws thousands of supporters, creating an electrifying atmosphere which leaves the participants buzzing!

So why don't you set yourself a challenge and run to raise funds for Breast Cancer Care?
