Paula back in the running>>
Holmes set for Gateshead>>

Gateshead is on its marks and set to hold one of the most prestigious events in the annual athletics calendar, with the British Grand Prix on Sunday 27 June.

With the Olympics fast approaching, many top national and international names are using this year's competition as a warm up for events in Athens.

Britain's Kelly Holmes is also competing

Amongst those taking part are Olympic champions Denise Lewis and Marion Jones, who will go head to head in the long jump.

And on the track, World Bronze medallist Darren Campbell completes a top class field in the 100m sprint alongside World Champion Kim Collins and World Indoor 60m Champion Jason Gardener.

Fans of distance running can see athletics’ hottest young star, Kenenisa Bekele, make his first outdoor UK track appearance. There's a good chance he could break Brendan Foster’s track record for 3,000m set 30 years ago.

And closer to home, Paula Radcliffe will end a two year absence from British track action when she competes in the 10,000m.

BBC Tyne has three pairs of tickets to give away for the British Grand Prix at Gateshead International Stadium on Sunday 27 June.

Please note: Winners must be able to collect their tickets from BBC Newcastle reception and make their own way to the venue.
