More than 43,000 people took part in the annual 13.1-mile race from Newcastle to South Shields.

The spotlight usually falls on the elite runners, like Sir Mo Farah, who won yesterday’s race for a record fifth time.

There are those running for good causes too - such as Lisa Rutherford and Caroline Curry.

Then there were thousands of fun runners, who were doing it to prove a point to themselves, to their families, or to their mates down the pub.

Whatever your reasons for doing it, well done to everyone who ran, walked, wheeled or crawled over the finish line on The Leas at South Shields.
