CHILDREN'S charity Barnardo's, which runs 40 services in the region, is seeking people to join the Junior Great North Run.
The event, on September 20, at Gateshead Stadium, will include a party with several top bands performing and will be filmed by Children's BBC.
The event is open to under 17s and those running for Barnardo's will get a running vest.
Barnardo's in the North-East helps about 11,000 disadvantaged children each year.
Anyone interested in joining the run can telephone (0113) 258 2115.
