Join our team of runners
In 2026, 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.
Running for us makes you an important part of our team, and we’ll be with you every step of the way to help you smash your fundraising target and best of all complete the challenge of Great North Run.
As part of our team, you’ll receive:
- The loudest and most supportive cheer point on the course!
- A digital fundraising pack bursting with fundraising tips and tricks.
- Fundraising incentives.
- A free running top.
- Invites to exclusive online events to support you.
- Regular newsletters and online resources including training materials.
- A well-deserved hero’s welcome from our team at our charity village stand.
