Inspired By Greatness: AJ Bell Great North Run 2024 Medal Reveal

The Great North Run has always been about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. It started back in 1981, when 12,264 pioneers forged the path from Newcastle to South Shields. 🏃
43 years on, the event has generated hundreds of millions of pounds in charity fundraising, witnessed some of the greatest road running performances of all time and this year was awarded the World Athletics Heritage Plaque for its contribution to the worldwide history and development of mass participation road running.
The award is so much more than the Great North Run; it’s about every runner, volunteer, charity, supporter, across every single year. It’s about the unwavering support of the people of the North East who get behind this event like no other and inspire the next generation.
🎓 This year, the class of 2024 will follow in the footsteps of 1.3 million before them, running the same infamous 13.1 mile route. Each runner inspired by someone, some cause, some moment. Each runner on their own road to greatness.
🏅 In preparation for their journey in September, we are very excited to announce this year’s AJ Bell Great North Run medal - which has been inspired by greatness.
As runners cross this year’s finish line, they will be able to share the celebrations by placing two medals together to create the full image of the iconic Tyne Bridge. 📸
We can’t wait to see everyone on Sunday 8th September and discover how you have been #InspiredByGreatness. ✨
