How to register
We would love for you to join us at this iconic event, taking steps to help everyone affected by ovarian cancer.
There are two ways that you can join Team Target:
Charity Place – I need a place
We have a limited number of guaranteed places in this event.
To claim a charity place with us, we ask for a £35 non-refundable registration fee and ask that you pledge to raise the £400 minimum fundraising target – with this we could fund a day and a half of live-saving research.
Own Place – I have a place
If you were one of the lucky ones and secured your own place via the Great North Run ballot or membership, we'd still love for you to join Team Target!
For this option, we have no registration fee or minimum fundraising target, but we hope you'll raise as much as you can to stop ovarian cancer devastating lives.
We'll ask for proof you've secured your own place independently from the charity – so have your registration confirmation email ready.

“When my wife Steph was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, one of the most overwhelming feelings was that there was nothing I could do to help. Running was a shared passion of ours and I have lots of happy memories of doing the Great North Run together. Fundraising and running for Target Ovarian Cancer helps me feel like I can make a difference, in a way that was meaningful to us both. It means I get to remember her every year and feel like I can make a difference for other women diagnosed with this devastating disease. The team at Target Ovarian Cancer are great to work with, and of course they know just what I’ve been through. “ – Andy |
