Which celebrities are running the Great North Run 2025?
The Great North Run 2025 will be run by a host of famous faces doing their bit for charities and great causes.
Around 60,000 runners are expected to hit the streets of the North East on Sunday for the 44th edition of the Great North Run.
The famous half-marathon begins in Newcastle before crossing the Tyne Bridge into Gateshead, then moves into South Tyneside and wraps up at the finish line in South Shields.
While the men's and women's elite groups will be leading the way around the 13.1-mile route, the majority of those involved will be members of the public raising money for a good cause and, as always, the field will be littered with famous faces as well.
Two-time Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes tops the list of celebrities at the Great North Run 2025 and is joined by some other sports alumni in football and Gladiators referee Mark Clattenburg, boxer and reality star Tommy Fury, and Coventry City player-turned-reality star Ashley Cain.
