Always wanted to take on the Great North Run? Now is your chance! Join our team in 2025 for this world-famous half marathon from Newcastle upon Tyne to the coast.
The 13.1 mile route takes you through the city centre and across the iconic Tyne Bridge and if you're lucky, you might get a glimpse of the Red Arrows passing overhead!
Ready for your next challenge? Join Team Cats now and make a real difference to the cats and kittens that need our help.
For this half marathon challenge there is a registration fee of £40 and we ask for a minimum sponsorship commitment of £375.
This amount could fund a month of running our Paws to Listen service, a phone line that takes calls from people who are struggling to cope with the loss of their cat.
Join our team of Cat Champions to get a Cats Protection running vest and then simply set up a fundraising page and raise whatever you can to help the cats and kittens.
From our Tyneside Adoption Centre to volunteer-run branches across the region, our teams work tirelessly to help abandoned, unwanted and neglected cats in the north east.
You're able to nominate any local Cats Protection branch or centre to receive 100% of the money you raise from your challenge, helping the cats and kittens in your chosen area.
We'll be with you every step of the way from sign up to the finish line! When you join Team Cats, you’ll get a first-class experience including:
