Famous for its inclusive atmosphere, unbeatable on-route entertainment and warm Geordie welcome, not to mention the millions raised each year for worthy causes, Great North Run magic can be hard to understand until you've experienced it for yourself on the Newcastle to South Shields route.

GSK employees will be running this event supporting our partnership with Save the Children. Their fundraising supports programmes in the UK and also the Children's Emergency Fund - supporting humanitarian response where is it needed most in the world.

All fundraising is matched by GSK.
