Great North Run ballot results are in - how to check if you have a place

Check your emails if you've entered the Great North Run ballot.

Great Run says everybody who tried their luck in the ballot should have received an email confirming whether or not they have a place by now.

The ballot for £59 Great North Run 2022 entries closed on Monday February 21. The 2022 half marathon from Newcastle to South Shields takes place on Sunday September 11.

Great Run tweeted: "Runners, you should have received your ballot email by now.

"If you haven’t, be sure to check your Junk folder!"

Those who have not received their email can keep checking until Friday, February 25, as "it can take up to a week for these results to land," Great Run said in another tweet.

How to check if you have a Great North Run place

Great North Run entrants can also check if they were successful by heading to Great Run's ballot checker here. They'll need the 24 character booking reference they received from Great Run's booking partner, Let's Do This, (Example: 62066f7d0a075a9c2240e976).

Those who are not successful through the ballot can still get a place by securing a charity spot. Head here for a list of participating charities.
