Great Charities

The Great Run Series is proud to provide a platform for runners to raise millions of pounds for charity every year. Some of our Great Charities are below, all raising money for incredibly worthwhile causes. Simply click on each one to find out more and how to run for your chosen charity.

If you are a charity and would like to purchase a package for one of our Great Run Series events, you can view our Charity Prospectus below. We have places available for all events included in the Prospectus, apart from the Great North Run which is fully allocated.

 

Alzheimer’s Society has been proudly selected as the official charity of the AJ Bell Great Run Series. Together we’re investing in a world without dementia. Together, we’ve got dementia on the run. As the country’s biggest killer, someone develops dementia every three minutes in the UK.

At Alzheimer’s Society, we know the steps it will take to create a future where dementia no longer devastates lives. By delivering vital support services, funding pioneering research and campaigning relentlessly for change, we’re now so close to lifechanging treatments being available for people who need them most. For the first time, we’ve truly got dementia on the run.

Hope is on the horizon but to get there, we need everyone on the team. Because it will take a society to beat dementia. The money we raise from the AJ Bell Great Run series will help us get there faster. Join us.

When you run for Diabetes UK, you’re choosing to stand with millions of people whose lives are affected by diabetes every single day. Diabetes is relentless. More than 5.8 million people in the UK are living with the condition, and millions more are at risk without even realising it. But your decision to take on the Great North Run for us can help change that.

By joining our team, you become part of a powerful movement fighting back. Every mile you run helps us campaign for better care, fund groundbreaking research, and ensure everyone has access to the technology and support they need to live well with diabetes. You’ll be helping us to drive new treatments, support people from the moment they’re diagnosed, and bring us closer to the day when diabetes can do no harm.

Diabetes doesn’t stop—but with you on our team, neither do we.
