Bupa Junior & Mini Great North Run

The Bupa Junior and Mini Great North Run is the North East's biggest and best mini and junior running event, which returns to NewcastleGateshead's Quayside on Saturday 18 September 2010.

The event takes place the day before the world's biggest half marathon the Bupa Great North Run and features three different categories for youngsters of all abilities.

The Bupa Mini Great North Run is for girls and boys aged from 3 to 8 years and covers approximately 1 mile. The Bupa Junior Great North Run is divided into two age categories - for boys and girls aged 9 to 11 and for boys and girls aged 12 to 16 - both over a distance of approximately 3 miles.

All junior and mini runners will receive an event t-shirt, medal and finishers pack. All junior runners will be chip timed to give an accurate finishing time with times published on the Bupa Great Run website after the event.

All three courses start and finish on the Newcastle side of the Quayside.

Go bananas and help beat blood cancers!

This year Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research is the official charity for the Bupa Great Junior and Mini runs.

The charity's running team is called the Banana Army after their bright yellow shirts - and it's all about having fun and doing something really positive to beat blood cancers.

Why not lace up your trainers and join the Banana Army? Everyone is welcome. What's more, every Banana Army runner receives a fab yellow shirt and an inflatable banana.

You can run with TV stars too! Eden Taylor-Draper, Emmerdale's Belle Dingle is part of the Banana Army and she will be starting the Bupa Junior and Mini races and running at events across the country too. And you'll meet other Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research celebrity runners who are sponsored by TV Times!

Leukaemia is the most common form of cancer in children. Thanks to Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, nine out of ten children now survive the most common form of this cancer.

Join the Banana Army and go on the run to help beat blood cancers!
