The celebrities who took part in this year’s iconic AJ Bell Great North Run included Tommy Fury, Jake Quicken, and Sara Davies among the many participants.
The 44th edition of the legendary race, which was first started by former Olympian Sir Brendan Foster, attracted runners of all ages and abilities. And while some people go back in a year, others did their first run.
Tommy Fury, who traveled further north with partner Molly Mae Hague’s father, was one of the first attendees. And after a recent 100-kilometer triathlete, he appeared in high spirits as he posed for pictures and appeared to have brushed off the fume.
Tommy missed out on 30k of cycling because of issues with French road closures, something he did not address on his social media posts, and the situation was so bad that many competitors were left raging as Tommy met Molly-Mae at the finish line of that competition.
But he ran in a crowd that included Jake Quickenden’s likes on Sunday in the North East, and there was no such thing as a shortcut. After his run, the reality TV star later revealed that despite recording a sub-one hour and 30 minutes, he had already set himself a personal best time. He came in at a respectable 1.30 and 25 seconds, though.
Ashley Cain, a fellow reality TV star, and Sara Davies, a local Dragons’ Den star, also participated. By completing a portable DJ set while participating, North East DJ Schak also tried out an unofficial world record attempt for the NSPCC.
And runners were first greeted with cheers from Newcastle United stars Nick Pope and Jacob Murphy, who were kicking off the show.
