All of our places on the Great North Run 2016 have been filled. Please watch this space later this year for possible places for GNR 2017.

Last year (or is it this year), Northumbria Blood Bikes obtained 10 sponsored places for the Great North Run, and 10 people took part in the 2015 race, raising over £6,000 on our behalf (not to mention the countless other people who did the run and gathered sponsorship themselves for our benefit.

This coming year, we're offering places for those who wish to take a charity place for us. There is no cost to you as a runner, but we would expect that you would be successful in obtaining sponsorship for us this year. We would expect that you would raise a minimum of £150 each (last year, runners raised an average of £600 each, so we would expect runners to aim for a similar amount), for the Charity, which covers entry costs for the run, and a donation. 

If you are interested, and want to know more, visit the 'Contact Us' page of this website, and select the category of 'Fundraising' to send a message. One of our team will get back in touch with you as soon as possible. It would be useful to have the title 'GNR 2016 places' in the title.

Thanks for your interest.
