I was really proud to be running for St John Ambulance, especially when I saw two people collapse and the St John Ambulance team were right there to help them. - Yoko, runner

Already got a place in the Great North Run?

If you already have your own place we would love to have you join our team. We don’t have a minimum sponsorship target, but any funds you can raise would be hugely appreciated. You'll receive the same support as a charity place runner.
