World record holder Jacob Kiplimo became the first Ugandan man to win the Great North Run on an emotional day on Tyneside.
The 21-year-old, the reigning world half-marathon champion, left a world-class field in his wake in his first appearance at the event and had a 32-second lead as he hit the 12-mile mark on the 13.1-mile course from Newcastle to South Shields.
