The cost of runners packages for the 2005 Great North Run, a popular fundraising event, have risen by 50% in a year, according to Third Sector magazine.

Third Sector reports that “charities are now being charged £3,750 for 75 runners’ places, compared with £2,500 last year.”

As such, some charities, including large national organisations, are reviewing whether to continue to take part in the event.

Event organisers Nova International encouraged charities to think of themselves as “investors” in the event and recognise the need to help improve the quality and standard of the race.
