Time is running out to apply for a place in this year's Great North Run.
Those hoping to bag a spot on the start line are advised to apply before 10am on Monday, February 20 when the ballot entry system will close for this year. Runners will find out whether or not they’ve been successful via email when the ballot is drawn next week.
Thousands of eager runners have already entered, hoping to be in with the chance to take on the famous, 13.1 mile, half marathon course, from Newcastle to South Shields.
