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
We have a limited number of guaranteed places in this event.
For this option, we have a £20 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 life-saving research.
Own Place
If you were one of the lucky ones and secured your own place via the Great North Run ballot, or via a membership, we would 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 will ask for proof you have secured your own place independently from the charity - so have your confirmation email ready.

Laura's Story
“I run the Great North Run for my sister Em, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the age of just 21. Never in a million years did I think I would be able to run, let alone a half marathon... now twice! Back in 2020, I couldn't even run 1k without stopping, but knowing that I was doing it for Em gave me so much strength. She is my inspiration every single day. I’m really proud of what I’ve achieved, not just physically but also raising money to help other families going through the same thing.”
