The Great North Run ballot will open soon for those who fancy tackling the half marathon in September. But if you want to make the 13.1 miles count for something a little bit more, have you considered running for charity?
Hundreds, if not thousands, of charities benefit from the money raised by the keen Great North Run athletes each year. Many of these charities offer discounted places in exchange for a pledge to raise money for their causes.
Each charity offers fundraising assistance to help you reach your goal, whether you stick with the minimum or reach for bigger heights. So, put your best foot forward and consider one of these charities.
