“We started the Great North Run in 1981 because we were runners – and if you’re a runner you want everybody to run.” – Brendan Foster, Chairman & Founder The Great Run Company is the UK’s biggest mass participation sport business. Every year we inspire over 250,000 people to take part in our events in cities all over the country accompanied by world class athletes.
