Guaranteed places in this year’s Great North Run
Epilepsy Action is looking for people to take part in the Great North Run this October.
It’s one of the most popular half marathons in the world. Taking place in the north-east of England, it starts in Newcastle city centre, crosses the famous Tyne Bridge, passes through Gateshead and South Tyneside before finishing at the seafront in South Shields.
If you’re interested in doing the Great North Run for us, we have a number of guaranteed places available. All we ask you to do is aim to raise £275 sponsorship and pay a £40 registration fee for your place.
If you want to take part, then get in touch:
- Ring Ellie Smith in our fundraising department on 0113 210 8800 (UK), +44 113 210 8800 (international)
- Drop Ellie an email to esmith@epilepsy.org.uk
- Visit the Great North Run page on our website, print off the application form and send it in with your deposit
The closing date for guaranteed places is next Friday, 25 July, so if you’re thinking about doing the Run for us, stop thinking and get signed up today!
