The countdown to the world’s biggest half marathon is on and you can be part of the action by signing up and joining our team.

The AJ Bell Great North Run sees 60,000 incredible people take their place on the start line in Newcastle upon Tyne and travel 13.1 miles towards the beautiful coastline of South Shields.
