Sign up for the Official Virtual Great North Run on Sunday 13 September
The race is free to enter, regardless of whether you had a place in this year’s Great North Run.
#GNRreimagines will mimic a race format so that all runners start their Virtual Great North Run at the same time and complete the same 13.1 mile distance.
Runners will be tracked throughout the virtual race and will be able to view results after the race has finished.
Great Run have also created an app to bring you an innovative virtual experience with audio clips from the event, so that you will hear the sounds of the Great North Run.
