The Great North Run is one of the UK's most iconic half marathons, taking participants on a scenic journey from Newcastle to South Shields. Running for Centrepoint makes the experience even more fulfilling, as every step taken helps support vulnerable young people facing homelessness. It’s an opportunity to be part of a community that values compassion and change while enjoying the exhilarating atmosphere of the event.
