Children’s Cancer Run, Sunday 17th May 2026
We would love for you and your family to join our school team at this year’s Children’s Cancer Run at Newcastle Racecourse, Gosforth Park.
The Children’s Cancer Run is a cross-country family fun run with a Mini (1km), three, and five-mile route to choose from. The charity event is organised by Children’s Cancer North and is once again being supported by Greggs. We are very excited to be participating in this event and would like to invite you to join us for what promises to be a fun filled family day out. All participants who pay for an entry to the run will receive a finisher medal and Greggs snack pack on the day, and all children receive a Children’s Cancer Run t-shirt. The fun continues in the Event Village too, with fairground rides, face painting, live music and entertainment, a Young Scientist Zone, food vendors and more!
Please complete an online entry form to join our school team:
1. Go to childrenscancernorth.org.uk/event/childrens-cancer-run-2026/
2. Click ‘Sign up today!’
3. Select your registration preference (as an Adult, Child, or Family ticket type)
4. Under ‘Create or Join a team’ select ‘Find’ and type in our school name ‘Highfield Middle School’. Click ‘Join’ next to the school name.
5. Complete the remainder of the registration form and click proceed to payment to complete the registration for you and/or your family.
Children aged 11 years and under participating in the three or five mile course must be accompanied by a responsible adult, so please ensure they have registered and paid for an adult place too. All children aged 8 years and under taking part in the Mini Run must also be accompanied by an adult. A free ‘Accompanying Adult’ run number is included with all Mini Run child entries (these free adult entries are not eligible for a snack pack and medal, however you may purchase a paid adult entry for the Mini Run event if you would like to receive a finisher pack).
We know that times remain hard financially and would encourage you to just do what you can in order to raise sponsorship money. Whilst your entry fee covers the cost of the event for Children’s Cancer North, it is your sponsorship that will make a difference in making life better for children and young people with cancer in the North East and Cumbria. If you are able to raise funds, please do so by using either the paper sponsor forms provided, or the online fundraising page created when you register online. Remember that every £1 raised will make a huge difference.
If you sign up before the 31st March, there is an ‘early bird’ offer with discounted prices for signing up.
Your run pack containing your run numbers, children’s t-shirts and start time will be sent home with your child the week before the run. If you have any questions in the meantime, please get in touch or email Children’s Cancer North directly at [email protected]. ... See MoreSee Less

A lovely message came into school this morning from a member of cabin crew on our flight back from the Alps on Saturday! What a great way to start the week!
"Morning,
I had the pleasure of being one of the cabin crew that brought home 30 of your school children from GVA on Saturday. I just wanted to reach out to say what an absolute pleasure each and every one of those children were to have onboard & how will mannered & polite they were. They are a credit to your school & their parents." ... See MoreSee Less
