The Perkins Great Eastern Run is a running event that takes place every year in Peterborough, United Kingdom, generally in mid-October. The event returned in 2006 after a 10-year absence and is rapidly gaining popularity. Currently, there are three races in the whole event:

Half Marathon – A 21.0975-kilometre (13.1094 mi) race which winds its way through the city's streets.

Fun run – A 5 km run which starts and finishes at the same place as the half marathon.

Wheelchair Race – This follows the same route as the half marathon.

Despite its name, the Great Eastern Run is not a part of the Great Run series of events, which includes the Great North Run.
