The Bupa Great North Run is one of the most important annual events for Candlelighters.

Described as “the world’s biggest half marathon” and attracting around 54,000 runners, this year’s Great North Run takes place on 19th September 2010.

It is the ultimate fundraising experience, bringing people from all walks of life together to raise money for their chosen charity, soak up the community atmosphere, have fun, and achieve something really amazing.

The Great North Run is one of the most iconic half-marathons on the planet and is broadcast live on both BBC television and on BBC Radio 5 Live. If you want to raise money to help children and teenagers with cancer in Yorkshire, this event will get you noticed.

Registration is now closed, but If you’ve already got a place through the public ballot, you can still join the Candlelighter’s team by emailing gnr@candlelighters.org.uk now (you can also contact us on this address for more information on the run itself). Once we’ve confirmed your place we’ll send you a fundraising pack, details of our hospitality marquee and guidance on how to set up your own page on JustGiving.com

Run for Candlelighters – your efforts on just one day can benefit children and teenagers with cancer in Yorkshire for years to come.
