Tyne Tees Great North Run

Sir Brendan Foster says he is "humbled and honoured" Farah has chosen the iconic half marathon to finish his racing career. 

Organisers are urging people to sign up quickly as it is expected to be a sell-out. Last year, over 9,000 runners took part in the event.

To celebrate the club's cup run, the half marathon's organiser is giving away a free entry for every scored in the semi-final first leg.
