Brendan went on to compete in three Olympic Games and became European and Commonwealth Champion at 5,000 and 10,000m plus a World Record Holder. During his time as an athlete competing at the top level of the sport he ran in the Round the Bays event in Auckland, New Zealand, and decided to bring the concept back to his native North East. The first Great North Run, the original Great Run, was staged in 1981. Since its first staging when 10,000 runners took part, it has grown into the world’s greatest half marathon and the UK’s biggest running event with 57,000 runners annually. In 2014 the Great North Run became the first event in the world to be officially recognised by the IAAF for achieving the milestone one millionth finisher.
