Junior and Mini Great North Run 2024

The UK’s biggest and best kids running event is back on the 7^th September 2024, giving kids a chance to shine as part of the iconic Great North Run weekend.

The AJ Bell Junior & Mini Great North Run takes place on closed roads around the Newcastle Gateshead Quayside, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.

There’s nothing quite like the amazing sight of thousands of happy, smiling, active kids taking part for fun, for charity, for a challenge and earning a very special medal for their efforts. With plenty of encouragement and high fives from the crowds, it’s an action-packed day with an atmosphere like no other.

Last year was the BIGGEST EVER event and 2024 is likely to sell out quickly, so secure your entry today!
