The Great North Run 2019: In pictures

Thousands of runners made their way to South Shields

About 57,000 people took to the streets in the Great North Run, won by Mo Farah for the sixth time in a row.

The annual half marathon between Newcastle and South Shields is the UK's biggest running event.

Four-time Olympic champion Farah won the elite men's race in 59 minutes and seven seconds.

Brigid Kosgei beat the women's course record - and the world half marathon record.

The race was started by Lionesses stars Steph Houghton and Jill Scott, along with cricketer Mark Wood

Under blue skies, thousands of runners made their way across the Tyne Bridge

As always, many runners donned their fancy dress costumes

Hats off to the person who managed to run 13.1 miles in this costume

Great Britain's Alyson Dixon ran the route dressed as Wonder Woman

Congratulations to all those who took part
