Mini and Junior Runs

We now have a number of NSPCC Guaranteed Places in both the Mini and Junior Bupa Great North and Great Manchester Runs. Why not make your run a family occasion and get everyone involved with teamGO!

Age and distance

Junior Great Runs are for two age bands, ages 9 to 11 (2.5 miles) and ages 12-16 (2.5 miles).

Mini Runs are for ages three to eight (1.5 miles)

Why join teamGO?

Sam Hollings, aged seven, took part in the mini Great North Run for the NSPCC in 2009 and raised £145 for NSPCC.

Here’s what he said about why he was running:

"I am going to give all of my money to children who really need some help. Me and my brothers are very lucky, we have people who take care of us and have lots of toys and stuff. Some children get hurt by nasty people and some children have no food or toys and some children are very scared. I hope the money I raise will help them to be happy"
