Great North Run 2016

Great North Run 2016 places available!

This year, the Great North Run will take place on Sunday 11th September. The Great North Run is a run like no other, dubbed ‘The World’s Favourite Run’, the Great North Run is the largest half marathon in the world, taking place annually in North East England. Participants run a scenic route between Newcastle upon Tyne and South Shields.

The 2016 Great North Run general entry ballot is now closed, but Team Kenya have a limited number of places available, so please get in touch with vic@team-kenya.co.uk to secure your place before we run out!

In 2015, our fantastic runners raised £3,416 which was spent directly on our projects in Ndhiwa, Kenya. This year we have more spaces available and hope to raise even more!

As a Team Kenya runner, you will be supporting a small charity, founded in the North East of England, focused on transforming communities in rural Kenya through sustainable development and investing in girls and women to create a level playing field for all. Unlike many larger organisations, you can be sure the money you work so hard to fundraise will be spent directly on project costs in Kenya. You will receive a Team Kenya running vest and a sponsorship pack to help you prepare for the run and raise the most money you can.

Just £600 can support a young girl to go to school for an entire year, including the cost of living!
