Already got a place?
Do you already have a place in the Great North Run 2022? Did you pay an entry fee directly to the event organisers? We’d love you to join the team as your own place runner. You’ll get the same benefits as a Team SMS charity place runner, there just isn’t any fundraising pledge. We simply ask you to raise as much as you can.
To join us with your own place, email Helen Hargrave and she will get in touch to provide you with ‘Team SMS’ support and resources to help you with your run.
