Join our team of runners
In 2025, we had over 400 people who chose to run for Newcastle Hospitals Charity – home of the Great North Children’s Hospital and the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
So whether you’re running in memory of a loved one, to say thank you for cancer treatment they have received, or simply as a challenge to get a little bit fitter – please consider running for us.
