I think it was a £5, or something fairly cheap.
Certainly not the £40 Lord Foster knows he can charge these days. Mind in the early years, up to about 1988, the GNR was always thought of as a local North-East event. It was only in 1992, when it was used as the World Half Marathon championship that things changed. It was that year we had to collect our number from Gateshead Stadium & instead of a medal we were given a wall plaque

Did everyone get their email last night?

"Before the end of August, your race number, timing chip and Great Run magazine will arrive in the post."

The T-shirts you can buy look pretty good, might pop into Start Fitness on the way home for a look :)

Got e-mail.

Looking forward to the pack arriving.
Confession time......I've done the run 11 times now but still look at the route map about 63 times between it arriving and race day. Wonder if it has changed over the years?

Pack arrived yesterday for me. Must admit I didn't spend any time looking at it apart from to check my zone. I want to get back from work and look at the chip now though!
