Website | EmailDevised by former Olympic athlete Brendan Foster, and first staged in 1981, the annual Great North Run is now the world's biggest half marathon. The race always attracts the world's top distance runners, including World champions and Olympic medalists, but over 50,000 people of all running standards pound the 13.1 mile course from Newcastle, through Gateshead, to South Shields, in pursuit of personal achievement, or to raise money for charity.
