Great North Run

50,000 Runners line up representing every single Uk Postcode, to run the biggest half marathon in the world

The starting line up streatches as far as you can see and take 30 minutes for them all to start, so by the time the last one cross's the start line, the leader is half way round the course

They are off

The crowds of runners start to break up slowly as they run along Newcastles Central Motorways and over the Tyne Bridge.
