26 Mile Fun Run for Northern Edge Sports

Aim

We’re excited to share an event in N1 raising funds for our Community Fund Charity Northern Edge Sports, and we’d love your support!

On 27th March 2026 at 9:30am, we’ll be hosting a Marathon Fun Run at Blaydon Leisure Centre Athletics Track. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get involved, have fun, and help raise money for an organisation that makes a huge difference in our local communities.

🏅 Want to take part?

Whether you’re a seasoned runner, casual jogger, or simply fancy giving it a go, we’d be thrilled to have you join our team on the day. The 26 mile will be completed as a 15 person team relay and fancy dress is very much encouraged — the more colourful and fun, the better! We are in the process of setting the event up on Thrive for colleagues taking part to register their time, in the first instance please let me know if you would like to join us and we will share the link to Thrive in the next couple of days.

If running isn’t your thing but you’d still like to contribute, you can donate via the QR code on the event poster or on the following link - Engaging young people and adults into Roller Sport - a Community crowdfunding project in Newcastle upon Tyne by Northern Edge Sports
