While today (Sunday, September 8) might be the turn of the adults, youngsters from far and wide ensured they were the stars of the show as they took part in the AJ Bell Mini Great North Run on Saturday, September 7.
Thousands descended on the North East to take part in the run, with the route spanning across the iconic Newcastle and Gateshead Quayside.
Much like the Great North Run, the mini Great North Run saw many don costumes and funny outfits to take part in the event.
