In short: Fantastic atmosphere. Great day for all.
In full: This was my third Great North Run and unfortunately didn't train as much as I should have done. My time highlighted this together with my aching limbs. All in all though the Great North Run is a great day out for not only beginners but seasoned athletes as well. Perhaps not the best place to get a personal best but aa very enjoyable day out. The weather was great again and the event was run like clockwork. Roll on next year. This time I am going to train much harder!!

In short: A Great Experience
In full: this was ny first time and was unsure of what to expect but it was a fantastic day although a bit hectic at the start with lots of jostling for space. However this did not ruin the event for me and the support from the crowd was out of this world and I even managed a decent time. I will definately be applying next year and hopefully break my PB.
