Hoping to do this again, finished 4th in the 30k the first time I ran it & got 2nd a few years later. Sadly older, fatter & slower now but it is so well organised and the course so interesting I hope to be back this year. Now do I stick to 30k or go longer??? 

Also saw a runner in a green mankini while spectating just before the 6 mile marker (2007/8 ??)

He was having a major containment problem & could have been nicked for indecent exposure.

A female club member told me he had severe "rear end chafing" when she passed him along the embankment. 

Reviewing running event results. 

Seems to be the "in" sport at the moment.

That certificate is definetely a spoof......My PB is only 1hr 23 (several decades ago) and I've never run the Great North.

Also none of my PB's show on Power of 10 and some of the runs that do were run by other people.

Limper....how can you compare the greatest ENGLISH king with a pair of jocks.

Its the statue of Alfred the Great in Winchester (although there is a smaller version in Wantage where he was born).
