A dazzler of a T-shirt, showing key moments in the Great North Run's history, has been revealed ahead of this year's event.
Sir Brendan Foster, who founded the world-famous half-marathon, showed off the new design for both the run's iconic T-shirt and medal which will be awarded when this year's participants pass the finish line. And with the T-shirt's pictures and words reflecting everything from route landmarks to the famous 'oggy, oggy, oggy' chant, the Olympian said it will be "an incredible souvenir".
Following its Covid cancellation in 2020, the Great North Run celebrated its delayed 40-year anniversary last year, with an altered route missing out South Shields. This September 11's event - the 41st - will see a return to form, with the traditional finish at the coast now restored.
