This year, members of the public are being invited to take on an incredible challenge for a meaningful cause by joining Military vs Cancer at the Great North Run.
Military vs Cancer is a UK-based community united by a clear mission: to stand shoulder to shoulder with those affected by cancer, ensuring no one faces it alone. The organisation brings together serving personnel, veterans, families and civilians to raise vital funds, offer practical support and build lasting networks of care for individuals and families impacted by cancer.
What We Do
We support people affected by cancer through:
- Community‑led fundraising initiatives
- Practical and emotional support for individuals and families
- Awareness campaigns that unite the military and civilian communities
- Events and challenges that turn collective effort into real‑world impact
Every mile ran, every pound raised, and every voice shared helps strengthen the support we can give to those who need it most.
How We Do It
We believe in the power of teamwork. By bringing together people from all backgrounds and walks of life, we turn challenges like the Great North Run into acts of solidarity. Participants receive ongoing support, encouragement, and the knowledge that their effort directly contributes to helping others through one of life’s toughest battles.
Why the Great North Run?

- Be part of a supportive, inclusive team
- Raise funds that make a tangible difference
- Run with purpose, pride, and meaning
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or taking on your first half marathon, your participation matters.
