Great North Run VIP Hospitality

GNR Finish Line

September 2026

BeaconHouse Events was proud to once again partner with the Great Run Company to deliver the finish-line hospitality experience at the AJ Bell Great North Run 2026.

Having supported Great North Run hospitality for many years, our team was responsible for catering, staffing and hospitality operations for VIP guests, elite athletes and media attendees, while also supporting the volunteer hospitality provision.

Throughout the day, the team ensured every aspect of the hospitality operation ran smoothly. From coordinating suppliers and managing catering deliveries to overseeing the bar and hospitality staff, every detail was carefully planned and delivered to create a seamless experience for guests.

We were delighted to work alongside a fantastic line-up of North East suppliers, including Northern Rye, The Little Fishy, Meat Stack, Acropolis and Little Cart Coffee Company, helping to showcase some of the region’s best independent businesses.

The Great North Run is one of the North East’s most iconic events, and we are proud to continue supporting the Great Run Company in delivering a professional, welcoming and memorable hospitality experience at the finish line.
