We have an amazing team of runners taking part in Great North Run 2026, show your support! On Sunday 13th September, 13 runners will don their running shows to raise funds for our work with survivors.

Our Runners’ Stories

Grace Fry - Great North Runner 2026

“I have chosen to run for rape crisis because they provide vital support to empower survivors of sexual violence and the work they do changes lives. No one should have to go through trauma alone and I am running and raising funds to ensure this help remains available throughout the North East.”

Henry Morely - GNR

“This is an issue that has impacted people close to me and I want to make sure everyone gets the support they need”.

Molly Summers - Great North Runner 2026

“I’m running for Rape Crisis because I think this specialist service for women, trans women and girls is so important. I believe strongly in their values and I want to continue to help provide a space for women to feel believed and supported.”

Eddie Doyle - Great North Run 2026

“I am so deeply proud to be running for Rape Crisis T&N. The resources they provide quite literally save lives, save happinesses.”
