Join Team Newcastle and take on the Great North Run 2025!

Every step you take will go towards supporting young people from the most disadvantaged backgrounds to access higher education. By running with Team Newcastle, you will provide vital support such as scholarships and bursaries, hardship funding, food supplies, course materials and much more.

We don’t want any student to miss out on what makes belonging to Newcastle University so special.

Why run for us?

As a Team Newcastle runner, you will receive:

  • A discount on your Great North Run registration fee (£30 instead of £65)
  • A complimentary Team Newcastle running vest to wear on the day.
  • A pre-race breakfast to provide the necessary fuel to power through the 13.1-mile route
  • Tips and advice on fundraising

Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with your university community and work together to make a difference for future generations of students.
