My Story

I'm running for Northumbria Blood Bikes. 

Well here I am, about to take part in my first half marathon race. I have always said I wanted to do the GNR so here I am. 

I started my training with the couch to 5k program in January and I have really suprised myself with how far I have come. With shin splints along the way, I am not at the standard I hoped to be at but I'm pretty happy with what I have achieved so far. I'm enjoying my running journey (well most of it)  and I am impressed with how dedicated I have been. 


I am hoping to complete the race in less than 3 hours but my main aim is to raise money for a fantastic charity as well as soaking in the atmosphere on the day. 

Any donation great or small is appreciated. See you at the finish line!!! 


The GNR

60,000 determined and dedicated runners make the AJ Bell Great North Run the World’s biggest and best half marathon – famous for its warm North East welcome, unbeatable atmosphere and the millions raised for good causes. 

The AJ Bell Great North Run is an opportunity for us all to come together on the 7th September and support one another. Its magic can be hard to understand – until you have experienced it yourself. You’re guaranteed a running event like no other - and a finish line feeling you’ll never forget.

It's not all about the adults, the AJ Bell Junior & Mini Great North Run gives the kids a chance to experience that finish line feeling, earn a special medal & raise money for good causes.
