Around 45,000 runners will be tackling the Virtual London Marathon this weekend. But we want to celebrate the brilliant people who take to the streets closer to home.

We have selected a series of images from the Shields Gazette archives and each of them shows people supporting charity runs over the years.

Were you pictured tackling a 10k or running over the sands.

Were you caught on camera as you completed the Great North Run? Take a look and relive the memories.

We hope these scenes bring back happy memories. If they do, email [email protected] and tell us more. Photo: TIM RICHARDSON
