Over the past few months, our runners have been training hard, clocking up the miles and preparing themselves for the challenge of the 13.1-mile route from Newcastle to South Shields – all while raising vital funds to support CDDFT Charity.
The Great North Run is always a highlight in the sporting and fundraising calendar, and this year promises to be no different. Every step our runners take will help us continue to provide those extra touches of care, comfort and support for patients, their families and staff across County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust.
We’d love to see as many people as possible cheering our runners on as they take on this amazing challenge. So, whether you’re along the course, in the crowds, or cheering from home – please join us in wishing them the very best of luck.
Message to our runners: You’ve trained hard, you’ve put in the effort, and now your moment is almost here – we are all behind you!
