The Great North Run is under way.
Tens of thousands of runners are pounding 13.1 miles of Tyneside roads as they take part in one of the world's largest half marathons on Sunday, September 11.
The iconic race is famed for its warm atmosphere, with crowds of well-wishers never failing to line the streets so they can cheer their friends – and strangers – along the course.
