Great North Run is on again. Lots of lovelly people competing for Diabetes. Duk have got a pitch to cheer them on 1mile from finnish. My son is doing Junior Great North run on sat. I will be at both events, roadshow on sat & on the finnish line on sun. Good luck to everyone ! 😎😎😉
 
There was more than 600 people doing it for Duk last year. Best of luck to all who are doing it this year 😎
 
Well done Richard !! 😎 We will be at 1mile from end if you need anything 🙂
 
Good luck to everyone taking part! Try to keep close to that Mo Farah - he'll pull you round in a good time! 😉
 
Northener I reckon mo with have run, had a cool down, had his lunch by the time I even get over the start line lol 🙂 hope the weather is good and the crowds and adrenaline carry me round the 13 miles think I am gonna need it......Will def need that last mile push from hobie and the crowd 🙂 x
 
Good on you Vanessa ! Weather has cooled a bit. I am not a runner but have peddled from house to start & then followed course 25mile. The Bands on the roundebouts are amazing. It is an "EVENT" Good luck Vanessa against Mo(Who 😱). Oxygen tank on order Richard 🙂. Hope crowd helps "YOU" 😎
 
Good luck Vanessa! Hope you enjoy the day, I'm sure you will 🙂 In 2008 I ran the Great South Run, and as we stood at the start we could see Paula Radcliffe on the big screen. Yup, by the time I got over the start line she had finished and was back at her hotel before I finished!
 
Paula was good Northy ! (so dont feel to bad) Every year an elderly lady does the "Great North Run" pushing a pram. I have seen her more than 5 times doing this. What a good sport ! 😎
 
found out yesterday I have a niece running this year hope she does well .
 
Warm fluffy towels at the finish line might be welcome, and maybe a tot of rum? Hope all goes well.
 
Congratulations to everyone who ran the GNR today! Hope everything went well, and you are now bathing in the warm glow of a fantastic sense of achievement.
 
Was down there & as normal was excellent ! To everyone who took part WELL WELL DONE ! There were more than 3000 lovelly people doing it for Duk this year. Was on the cheer point 1mile from finnish line & seen a lot of people doing some hard work. They deserve a medal 😎😎😎
 
Well done to everyone who took part & hope you are all enjoying a well deserved radox bath!
