Great North Run 2026

I'm running the Great North Run 2026

I’m running the Great North Run 2026 in support of the RNLI. Every penny I raise will help the RNLI save lives at sea. If you are able to sponsor me, thank you so much. Together we can help provide brave RNLI lifesavers with the equipment, kit and training that helps them launch to the rescue.

Great north run done!

Sunday 13th Sep
I'm incredibly blown away by all the support while running! It really did help me keep going. Love you all

Thank you

Friday 11th Sep
On Sunday, I'll be running the Great North Run in my full RNLI inshore lifeboat kit. 🛟💛

This week has been incredible. An article in a local newspaper about me taking on the challenge generated some… interesting comments, but it has also brought an incredible outpouring of support for me and the amazing organisation we represent.

I’ve always just seen myself as a bit daft, living by the sea and wanting to help my local community when they need us most. I never expected the response to this challenge to be quite what it has been.

My fundraising page has gone through the roof, and the messages of support have been incredible. I started trying to send everyone a personal thank you, but the numbers quickly became too much!

So, please take this as one huge THANK YOU to everyone who has donated, shared the fundraiser, sent a message or simply wished me luck. It genuinely means the world.

On Sunday, I’ll be on that start line proudly wearing my RNLI kit, ready to take on the 13.1-mile challenge. Yellow wellies on my feet, Tynemouth RNLI on my back, and feeling incredibly proud.

Let’s do this. 💛🛟

James

Blown away

Thursday 10th Sep
Hello Everyone! 
Not going to lie I'm pretty blown away by the response by everyone! 

A huge thank you from me to everyone who has donated so far and continues to do so. I'm totally in awe of you all. I must have seen double the number of positive comments towards my fundraising efforts Vs the number of negative. 

Thank you all again, I'll post another update on the finish line! 

James

10k done!

Tuesday 11th Aug
10k in the suit done, feet surprisingly alright. Just need to work on fuelling.

Training continues

Sunday 2nd Aug
Decided this morning to have a run through South Shields and familiarise myself with John Reed road, which is the long hill to the finish line. Did it with Stuart, one of our launch authorities who's also running the GNR for the Newcastle United foundation! 19.75km done at a steady pace. Was a good trip!

Darlington up& running social!

Monday 13th Jul
Quick 6k around the park. Not done this part of Darlington before!

2nd parkrun down!

Saturday 13th Jun
Second park run down! Intervals to ensure I can run a half marathon in a dry suit! Good to she Stuart and Tom joining me!

First parkrun done!

Saturday 30th May
Did my first ever parkrun today... Choose to do it in RNLI kit! Warm one but with a time of 37 mins not doing too badly! Just another 3 of them to go 😂

Decided to run in kit...

Friday 1st May
Suppose now I've typed this out, it makes it official. After being inspired by the London Marathon and Dan from Walmer running it in full kit, I thought I'd give it a go! So for the 2026, Great North Run I'll be running the course in full RNLI kit. Wish me luck!

North Tyneside 10k done

Sunday 5th Apr
North Tyneside 10k completed with 4 other crew members. Andy, Poppy, Stuart and Adrian! Time of 51:53 for the race. My fastest ever 10k!

Welcome to my fundraising page!

Sunday 5th Apr
Welcome to my fundraising page for the Great North Run 2026. I'm James, crew member and press officer at Tynemouth RNLI and I'm running the great north run this year!

James, you are doing great things both in this run but also every time you respond to an emergency. The RNLI deserve immense respect for what they do each and every day. I am sorry that some factions of society feel differently and have subject some of your volunteers to the most horrific abuse. I hope the support you are receiving from people you haven’t ever met in your fundraising allows you to keep a little faith in humanity during these dark times. Never change, stay amazing and wishing you the best of luck on your run. Best wishes from a complete stranger 🙂
