Beyond Radio presenter Phil McGrath was among the local people to take part in this year's Great North Run.
Phil, who is having treatment for non-curative lung cancer, ran the world's largest half marathon on Sunday in a time of two hours and 54 minutes and afterwards said "I'm chuffed with that!"
The Quick Draw Radio show host ran the 13.1 miles from Newcastle-upon-Tyne to South Shields to raise money for Citizens Advice, where he works.
It was the fifth time he has taken part in the Great North Run, and this year was part of his '60 Before 60' Challenge where he is doing 60 things he's never done before, ahead of his 60th birthday in April.
He is also facing his own personal challenge, as he is being treated for non-curative lung cancer, after twice beating cancer before.
