The Great North Run is officially the world's biggest half marathon. If you join Team OCD-UK you’ll run alongside 60,000 other runners, cheered on by tens of thousands of supporters and enjoy a fantastic atmosphere and stunning sea views as you finish.

The Great North Run takes runners on a fantastic 13.1 mile route from crossing the Tyne Bridge to finishing on the South Shields seafront as you experience some of the best support that the North has to offer. So join around 15 other fantastic OCD-UK fundraisers and soak up the atmosphere, character and spirit of the Great North Run this year.

* We want everybody that wants to participate in the Great North Run wearing their OCD-UK running top with pride. So if the registration fee would be a barrier for you to run for OCD-UK then please get in touch and we will do all we can to facilitate your participation.

What’s the difference between a charity place and an own place?

Charity place:
If you have not entered the ballot in the official event, or if you did enter and have been contacted to say you were unsuccessful in the ballot results, then this option it for you. OCD-UK has guaranteed charity places and therefore by clicking ‘Charity Place’ you will be offered a guaranteed place in the event. We ask for a registration fee to be paid and once we receive this we will send you a welcome pack which will include an OCD-UK fundraising T-shirt.

Own place:
If you have entered the ballot in the official event, via their own website, and they have contacted you to say you have a place in the event, then this option is for you. By clicking on ‘Own place’ you are choosing to fundraise for OCD-UK, and you will be taken through the steps to create your fundraising account. OCD-UK will take some details so we can send you a welcome pack in the post with an OCD-UK fundraising T-shirt. This option is free because you already have a place and we don't request any minimum fundraising amount.

Thank You, we look forward to welcoming you to Team OCD-UK.
