The entry ballot may have closed in February, but you could still be in with a chance of winning a place alongside the elite athletes, celebrities and 52,000 people participating in the 2009 BUPA Great North Run.

With the world's biggest half-marathon now just 10 weeks away, we've teamed up with Powerade - the official sports drink and performance partner of the BUPA Great North Run - to offer 30 lucky members the chance to take part in the world-famous race in Newcastle on Sunday September 20 2009. With thousands of hopeful runners missing out in the February ballot, this could be your last chance to take part in the iconic event.

Anyone taking part in the 2009 BUPA Great North Run will for the first time have the chance to be hydrated by Powerade.
