The Lymphoma Association has guaranteed places in both the Great North Run and the Great South Run.
The BUPA Great North Run is the world's biggest half marathon with over 47,000 runners taking to the streets of Newcastle every year. At just over 13 miles long it is an achievable distance yet still a great challenge. It is now in its 26th year and always guarantees an exciting day for the runners and spectators.
