Britain’s Mo Farah won the Great North Run for the second year in a row in a thrilling finish ahead of Stanley Biwott of Kenya on Sunday.
Kenyan Mary Keitany retained the women’s title she won in record time last year.
Six-time Paralympic gold medallist David Weir claimed a record-equalling sixth men’s wheelchair crown.
And fellow Briton Shelly Woods won her seventh wheelchair title after her main rival crashed close to the finish.

Farah, 32, was made to work hard as Biwott, runner-up at the 2014 London Marathon, led for much of the race.
