Great North Run 2026 Reserve List

1. Age Requirement: Participants must be at least 18 years old on race day.
2. Charity Place Commitment: By accepting a charity place from Epilepsy Action, you agree to pay a £30 registration fee (inc. VAT) and raise a minimum of £400 (excluding Gift Aid) by 27 October 2026.
3. Fundraising Milestones: You are required to reach £150 by 30 June 2026. Whilst every effort will be made to help you reach this target, Epilepsy Action reserves the right to reallocate your charity place if there is no fundraising progress made before this point.
4. Final Sponsorship Payment: All remaining sponsorship must be paid to Epilepsy Action by 27 October 2026. You are responsible for any shortfall in the minimum sponsorship amount.

7. Injury and Deferral: If injured, you may apply to defer your entry to the next year’s marathon subject to availability and a one-time deferral. Accumulated sponsorship will carry over to the next year’s event.
8. Non-Finishers: Participants who start but do not finish the marathon are still liable to meet the minimum sponsorship amount and are not eligible for deferral.
