Great North Run

Get your Great North Run charity place with Team Scope and take on 13.1 miles for disability equality.

You will join nearly 60,000 other runners at the start line in Newcastle for the world’s largest half marathon.

The route will take you across the Tyne Bridge, through Gateshead and finish on the coastline of South Shields. With hundreds of supporters lining the streets to cheer you on, the atmosphere is something to behold. An experience you won’t forget.

Running a half marathon is a challenge and we are here to support you every step of the way.

With #TeamScope you will get:

• expert fundraising support from our Fundraising Team, helping you reach your fundraising goal while having fun
• access to training support from our coaching partners at Coopah, helping you get race ready and stay injury free
• a free Scope technical running vest, so you can to look the part
• regular support and encouragement by email and in #TeamScope's Facebook and Strava groups, so you can connect with fellow runners
• a celebratory welcome and refreshments at our post-race reception in the Charity Village

The Great North Run welcomes wheelchair users and assisted runners.

If you need a guide or support runner, they can join you for free. Guides or support runners who cross the finish line, will get:

• a finisher's medal
• t-shirt
• recovery bag

The money you raise helps Scope continue to create a fairer society. And provide vital support to disabled people and their families when it's needed most.

The cost of living crisis has hit disabled people the hardest. Many disabled people are being forced to make impossible choices. Choices between running life-saving equipment or eating.

That's why at Scope, we are determined more than ever to be there so we can:

• Provide free and impartial guidance through our Helpline
• Support disabled people into work through our Employment Services
• Continue campaigning relentlessly to change attitudes and create a more inclusive society

By joining #TeamScope, you are joining our movement for change. Together, we’ll use our collective power to change attitudes and end the injustice. Together, we'll be unstoppable.
