Great North Run 2024

Sunday 08th September 2024

Newcastle/Gateshead

*UPDATE – ALL PLACES FOR 2024 HAVE NOW BEEN FILLED*

Thank you to our fantastic 2023 Great North Run team who raised over £10,000 to help the dogs and cats at Stray Aid. Fundraising is a vital source of income for Stray Aid and with rising costs, it is more important than ever. We will soon have places for the 2024 Great North Run and we are looking for runners who can raise as much as possible to help the many animals in our care.

If you could raise at least £300 in sponsorship and would like to run for a local charity where every penny raised is vital to help animals in need within the North East, please get in touch with [email protected]. We will send you a sponsor form and a Stray Aid t-shirt to wear on the big day and we have a meet and greet tent at the end to celebrate your achievements, you can also set up an online fundraising page on www.justgiving.com/strayaid.

If you are lucky enough to secure your own Great North Run place through the ballot but would still like to raise money for Stray Aid, please get in touch, we’d love to have you join the Stray Aid team.
