The membership scheme guarantees the runner priority entries into the next three Great North Run's. 


Click here for more details.


Please note, you still need to pay the entry fee and register to enter each year, but the membership status means that you will be sent a priority link to enter and won’t need to apply for the ballot.


Members are contacted via email in November each year and given a priority entry window to secure their place in the following year's Great North Run.


GREAT NORTH RUN STANDARD MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS:


  • Bypass the entry ballot and secure your place in the Great North Run for the next three years (subject to payment of each year’s entry fee and registration).
  • An exclusive Great North Run Members technical training top (first year only) worth £20. 
  • Free professional medal ceremony photo taken on the day of the event, courtesy of our friends at Marathon Photos, each year of your membership.


Entries for the next term (2025-2027) will open in the week after the 2024 AJ Bell Great North Run has taken place. September 2024.
