Charity Events in Newcastle & the North East

Why Get Involved?

1. Challenge yourself – Run or Cycle for a cause

Races for All Levels – from young runners to experienced athletes, there’s a challenge for everyone!

From the world-famous Great North Run to a range of North East challenges, our Newcastle events are open to all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a first-time fundraiser or a seasoned athlete, there’s a challenge with your name on it.

2. Make a real difference to Newcastle patients

Support the Freeman Hospital – helping adults battling blood cancer across the North East.

Your fundraising supports a dedicated clinical research nurse at the Freeman Hospital, giving blood cancer patients across the North East access to potentially life-saving clinical trials they might not otherwise reach.

3. Join a community that cares

When you fundraise for Cure Leukaemia in Newcastle, you become part of a growing community of runners, cyclists, and fundraisers brought together by one shared goal: to cure blood cancer.

There’s nothing quite like the buzz of race day in a city famous for its Geordie warmth and passion, wearing your colours, roared on by one of the most electric crowds in the country. But it goes beyond the event itself. Knowing that your efforts are directly funding research that gives real patients across the North East more time with the people they love makes every training run, every donation request, every mile completely worth it.
