This year's Great North Run is set to be the biggest ever as 60,000 are due to line up in Newcastle for the half marathon in September.
An extra 3,000 places were made available for this year's Great North Run, bringing the total to a record-breaking 60,000.
The event on September 11, 2022 will revert to its traditional route this year, with South Shields returning as the finish, after the 2021 event was altered to start and end in Newcastle as a Covid-19 safety measure.
