Come rain or shine, runners will be out in force on Sunday, September 11, to take part in the Great North Run. Over 60,000 people have signed up for the run with thousands more expected to spectate.
Last year the heavens opened and runners found themselves in the middle of a downpour so many will be hoping for sunshine this year. While clear sunny skies are not on the forecast, neither are showers.
Although weather forecasts are subject to change and predicting so early can be difficult, AccuWeather is saying there is only a 25% chance of rainfall all day. In the week leading up to the Great North Run, the Met Office is also predicting little chance of rain so the track should be clear of puddles.
