Hundreds of youngsters flocked to Newcastle’s Quayside today to take part in the Junior and Mini Great North Runs.
It was a beautifully sunny autumn day down by the Tyne for the event, with young runners raring to go as families and friends cheered on from the side-lines. There was a fantastic atmosphere in the city for the action-packed event as the runners got warmed up ready for the race this morning.
The 4km Junior run is for children aged between nine and 16, while the Mini event is 1.2km and open to kids aged three to eight. Originally due to take place in September, the races were postponed following the news of the Queen ’s death.
