Sunday 5th July 2026

WE ARE BACK FOR 2026, once again for the North East’s BIGGEST 10k – Come and run for Red Sky Foundation and help us to save every heartbeat to keep on saving lives.
We help and support babies, children and adults who are born with or may develop heart conditions. If you are running this year, we would love you to register here for your fundraising link to raise vital funds for our charity and help us install more life saving public access defibrillators across the North East.
Red Sky Foundation is saving lives and sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone. Currently only 1 in 10 people survive an out of hospital cardiac arrest, but you can change that by running for #TEAMREDSKY.
Come and join in one of the North’s largest running events that races through the Toon. No matter if you’re a first-timer or an experienced runner, join us for a morning of fun!
See you on the start line!

MINI AND JUNIOR GREAT NORTH RUN 2026
2026-09-12 06:00 - 17:00
SIGN UP FOR THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH! RUN FOR TEAM RED SKY IN THE JUNIOR & MINI GREAT NORTH RUN 2026
The UK’s biggest and best kids running event is back on Saturday 12th September 2026.
The AJ Bell Junior & Mini Great North Run takes place on closed roads around the Newcastle Gateshead Quayside, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants. Minis aged 3-8 take on a daring 1.2km dash, while Juniors aged 9-16 tackle a 4km supercharged sprint. There’s nothing quite like the amazing sight of thousands of happy, smiling, active kids taking part for fun, for charity, for a challenge and earning a very special medal for their efforts. With plenty of encouragement and high fives from the crowds, it’s an action-packed day with an atmosphere like no other.
Mini runners (age 3-8) must be accompanied by an adult around the 1.2km course.
Junior runners (age 9-16) have the option of running by themselves or with a Parent/Guardian around the 4km course.
Accompanying adults who are running are required to wear the specific accompanying adult bib, which is attached to the child’s run number.
LET’S GO LITTLE CHAMPS!
