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.
