Organisers of the Great North Run have issued a pun-filled apology after mistakenly featuring a map of Sunderland on thousands of finishers’ T-shirts and medals, instead of the event’s traditional Tyneside home.
The error affected more than 60,000 runners who completed the 13.1-mile route from Newcastle to South Shields on Sunday, cheered on by up to 200,000 supporters.
