Great North Run 2025
75 runners, 75 amazing stories. The Great North Run 2025 was a day we'll never forget!
Great North Run 2025 is a day we won’t soon forget.
Nearly 100 people chose to join Team Percy Hedley this year, and we’re so grateful to every single person who dedicated their time and efforts to us.
From students, staff members, to generous volunteers, Team Percy Hedley made us incredibly proud this year.
Our runners were supported all the way through by our incredible run partner, Standby Healthcare.
Standby Healthcare Director Alex even took on his first ever Great North Run for us this year!
Post race, our runners joined us in the Charity Village for some well-deserved bubbles and treats.
Volunteer physiotherapists from Northumbria University joined us to provide some much-needed sports massages, and Greggs generously donated some delicious sweet treats to rewards our runners. We’re also incredibly grateful to Bidfood for coordinating generous donations from their suppliers – Fusion FSM, Punchy Drinks, Red Bull, and The Protein Ball Co. Thanks to their support, no one left hungry or thirsty!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the Great North Run 2025 such a tremendous success. Your support is truly making a difference in the lives of disabled children, young people, and adults across the North East.
Want to join our team in 2026?
We would love to have you!
We’re looking to create the biggest team ever next year and have limited spaces, which is why we recommend entering the ballot for an Own Place and running for the Percy Hedley Foundation.
Anyone who isn’t successful in gaining an Own Place will be guaranteed one of our Percy Hedley Charity Places. It’s the only way to be certain of a place in the 2026 Great North Run!
Join our team and help to make a meaningful impact on the lives of disabled children, young people and adults across the North East.
