Get your Great North Run fundraisers an extra £200

Let’s talk numbers… 

Great North Run sees 60,000 runners and millions of pounds raised. It’s the world’s biggest half marathon, and a major event fundraising opportunity for charities in 2024.

Great North Run fundraisers who create their JustGiving pages before August raise 9% more than those who wait until later in the year. That’s why we’re giving away 10x £200 donations to help get them reach their targets even earlier.

How to help your fundraisers get this incentive

That means all you need to do is encourage your supporters to create a JustGiving Fundraising Page for Great North Run 2024 (Event ID 8540120) between 17^th June – 31^st July 2024. Then they’ll automatically be entered into a random draw to win one of 10 £200 donations.
