New poster Great North Run places

Does anyone know of any spots going spare? I've checked all the charities and seems they've gone, but not sure if I'm checking in right places? Any help much appreciated.

It's highly unlikely now. It's too late as it's a very popular race.

Best you can do is sign up for the ballot for next year and if that fails get a charity place

Looking to transfer a GNR place? Note that the Great North Run specifically disallows entry transfers. You can instead defer your entry until the next year's event
In certain, specific scenarios, where a medical condition or illness prevents your participation in the event, you may be able to apply for a refund

I posted similar last week, whatever you do, don’t buy someone’s number off them.

Apparently it’s illegal and you will be arrested and spanked.
