Every year, thousands of people take on the Great North Run. This year, you can make every mile count for refugees and people seeking asylum across the North East.
At a time when our work is facing increasing hostility and negative rhetoric, running the Great North Run for WERS is a simple, practical way to stand alongside it.
Already got a place?
If you’ve secured your own place, you can still run for us!
There’s no minimum fundraising target, just raise what you can!
We’ve got 5 places
We’ve secured a small number of charity places this year.
We’d really love for you to take one on if you’re up for it, aiming for around £1,000 if you can.
It’s not about getting everything perfect. It’s about showing up and making it count!
