Live coverage of the Great North Run in Newcastle.
Live coverage of the 2021 Great North Run in Newcastle. The 2020 event - which was due to be a 40th anniversary celebration and had attracted more than 60,000 participants - was cancelled due to the pandemic. This year, the race will be started by NHS health workers rather than celebrities with a cardiologist, occupational health worker and two nurses chosen in recognition of their work during the Covid-19 pandemic.
