Sue Barker presents live coverage of the 31st Bupa Great North Run, the most famous half-marathon in the world. More than 50,000 runners are expected to tackle the 13.1 mile course from Newcastle to South Shields.
In 2010 one of the all-time great distance runners, Haile Gebrselassie, enjoyed a memorable debut with victory in the men's race. Another Ethiopian, the former World Champion Berhane Adere, won the women's race.
For many the goal is just to complete the run, raising money for charity in the process. Among those aiming to do just that are England cricketer Graham Onions and Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton.
