How to watch Great North Run 2023 on TV and live stream
The Great North Run 2023 will be shown on TV and live stream, with full BBC coverage of the elite races and main marathon.
The Great North Run is one of the most iconic events on the athletics calendar - and you can soak up the action from the comfort of your own home.
A hardy 60,000 runners ranging from the cream of the long-distance running crop to fun runners pounding the tarmac in the name of charity will tackle the 13.1-mile course around the North East of England this weekend.
Sir Mo Farah makes his last competitive appearance in the elite men's race, and the star-studded field includes this year's London Marathon runner-up Geoffrey Kamworor and two-time 5,000m world champion Muktar Edris.
The half marathon starts in Newcastle city centre and finishes in South Shields, with an estimated £25 million set to be raised for good causes.

Great North Run 2023 route
The Great North Run will begin in the heart of Newcastle's city centre on Central Motorway before weaving through to the iconic Tyne Bridge ahead of the two-mile marker.
Runners will continue to Gateshead, past the International Stadium - home to numerous athletics tournaments over the years - before beginning an incline that lasts approximately two miles.
Black Bull Junction is the highest point on the course at the five-mile mark, before a gradual descent over the next few miles.
The route constantly threads towards the North Sea coast, and at the 12-mile marker, runners will smell the sea air as they reach the South Shields clifftops before turning left for their final mile towards the finish line.
