Accommodation

We aim to provide accommodation to suit all budgets, as well as offering options as close to your event as possible. Whether you're looking for a budget bed & breakfast, a 5-star hotel or anything in between, we can cater for your requirements.

Early Breakfast on Race Day Morning

To give you the best possible start to your event day, we arrange an early breakfast for all athletes and spectators.

Event Transfers

The most popular and one of the most important event services we provide are our event transfers, which connect your accommodation to the event site for all event-related activities. This leaves you to fully focus on your event without the need to worry about local buses or taxis, or the need to walk or cycle long distances to and from the event site.

Coach & Run

The service provides the perfect solution for those who prefer to experience the Great North Run all in just one day, eliminating the need for overnight accommodation. The Coach & Run service offers runners and spectators the chance to travel to the North East on the morning of the Great North Run and travel back after the event.
