365 Announcement Soon

The curtain finally lifts on 13th December 2025, when the mystery of '365' steps out of the shadows and into the daylight. It’s the sort of moment that feels like standing at the edge of a long road just before the first stride. It’ll be that familiar feeling of equal parts nerves, excitement and a quiet grin at the madness of it all. I've been there many times whether it was Carlisle, John O'Groats, Huntington Beach, Cottesloe Beach, Guincho Beach, the Belgrade Fortress or, more recently, Coney Island. 

The reveal won’t just answer a question; it will signal the start of something bold, something crafted to carry people along for every rattling mile, every unexpected twist, every story that deserves its spotlight. 

Once the announcement lands, the whole thing will spark into motion, gathering pace and purpose as it rolls forward. Here’s to an exciting awe inspiring inspirational journey in aid of St. Benedict’s Hospice.

Helping to tell the story

The design of the 2026 Run Geordie Run leaflet is underway. There's a sneak preview below. I've masked the exact details of the event for now. Fear not! You'll be able to hear all about it in December.

It's early days but it's really starting to take shape. There'll be the usual useful background info, details on the 365 event, useful maps, sponsors logos and information on how to donate to St. Benedict's Hospice. 

I'm in the process of finding commercial sponsors for Run Geordie Run 365. The beauty of this event is that all expenses for it are coming out of my own pocket. All commercial money will go direct to St. Benedict's Hospice.  

Leaflets have always been one of the most important tools in my fundraising journey. From the early days of Run Geordie Run, they’ve helped tell the story of why I run, who I run for, and how every donation makes a difference to St. Benedict’s Hospice. A simple leaflet has the power to start a conversation, inspire a sponsor or remind someone that every mile counts for something much bigger. 

Over the years, these little pieces of paper have travelled as far as I have. They’ve been tucked into shop windows, handed out at events or passed to random passers by. Many of whom, have subsequently made a donation or have helped to spread the word (and in some cases they've helped to get me out of a spot of bother!!).

That’s why I’m so excited for the Run Geordie Run 365 leaflet. It’s not just another flyer. It’s an invitation to be part of something special. 365 will be a huge challenge, but it’s also a story to be shared every single day of the year. The new leaflet will help bring people into that story, spread the word far and wide and keep the fundraising momentum strong.

The images below show some very kind people from all corners of the earth with a Run Geordie Run leaflet. Every picture tells a story and is a reminder that sometimes the smallest things, like a leaflet, can help make the biggest impact. 

A chance to shine a light

Run Geordie Run 365 isn’t just about distance or destinations. It’s about stories too. The kind that live in the towns, villages and coastlines of our region. This year-long journey is a chance to shine a light not only on the places I pass through, but on the people who have helped to them special. 365 is a platform for connection. It’s a chance to remind us what makes life extraordinary. 

The landscapes may be many and wide, but the real journey lies in the details: the inspirational stories, the laughter shared, the challenges overcome and the reasons that keep my miles ticking by. This isn’t just about where the run goes. It’s about what we discover together along the way.

The soul of a region

As you will soon discover, 365 isn’t just about endurance. It’s not just about running day after day, through the seasons and the storms. It’s about shining a light on this incredible place we call home. Every stride will move through landscapes that deserve to be seen, celebrated, and shared with the world.

From the rugged coastlines that catch the sunrise before anyone else, to the quiet country lanes where the only sound is your own breath and birdsong. This region has a heartbeat all its own. 365 will bring that to life. Through images, video, and stories, we’ll show the world the raw beauty, the grit, and the charm that make our corner of the world so special.

People who followed the USA run saw a nation of contrasts, vast and wild. But 365 will be different. Closer, more intimate, more personal. It will celebrate home. Every route, every backdrop, every finish line will be a reminder that beauty doesn’t always need to be sought across oceans; sometimes it’s right here on your doorstep.

This journey will show more than the miles. It’ll show the soul of a region, one day at a time.
