Our Biggest Great North Run Team Yet!

A huge congratulations—and an even bigger thank you—to every member of the MS Research & Relief Fund team who completed the 2026 Great North Run.

This year, we were incredibly proud to have our largest team of runners to date taking on the iconic 13.1-mile route from Newcastle to South Shields.

Together, our runners have raised more than £15,000! An absolutely incredible amount.

Every donation will help us continue providing free, physiotherapist-led services from Benmar House in Morpeth, the Pashler Physiotherapy Centre in North Seaton and through our wider outreach work.

The annual cost of delivering our work has now risen to more than £800,000. We receive no statutory or NHS funding towards our services, so the commitment of our fundraisers—and the generosity of everyone who supports them—is incredibly important.

Completing a half marathon is a huge achievement and we are enormously grateful to each of our runners for choosing to represent MSRRF and for giving their time, energy and effort to support our charity.
