Marie Curie Cancer Care has places remaining for the Great North Run this year.

Individual registrations for the event in September has now closed, but the charity still has a few Gold Bond places for runners who pledge to raise a minimum of £300 for the charity.

All Marie Curie runners receive a free T-shirt, training programme, goodie bag and complimentary refreshments.

To raise money for the local nursing service phone Debbie or Cheryl on 01723 378111.
