2024 Environmental Report

The Great Run Company

Participant Travel The city centre events are generally lower intensity due to attendance by local participants and the availability of public transport networks, except the Great North Run which attracts a high number of international participants who travel by air. The high intensities at remote events, such as Great North Swim and 13 Valleys, are due to the high use of cars and low public transport availability. Providing a breakdown of the travel modes per event enables us to identify where the appropriate low-carbon travel initiatives can be introduced.
