Race is on to sign up for Great North Run 2026

Another 60,000 runners will take their places for the 2026 AJ Bell Great North Run in September

A first ballot for the 2026 event - the 45th - opened in September, with keen runners quick to snap up the extra early opportunity to sign up for the iconic race.

A similar rush of applications was expected when the traditional January ballot opened last weekend, because it is open for just seven days and closes at midnight on Sunday.

The online ballot for the September 13 fiesta of running will be drawn soon after the closing date.

All applicant will receive an email to confirm whether they have been successful.
