Last time out

Great North RunnerAt 132, our 2009 Great North Run team was Christian Aid's biggest running team ever. They were also joined by a handful of TV stars.

Jerome Flynn (Soldier, Soldier) was giving out good luck kisses at the start, while EastEnder Kara Tointon, Joe Swash (I'm A Celebrity... champion) and Apprentice-winner Tim Campbell enjoyed a cup of tea, a massage and a chat to the other runners in the Christian Aid post-run reception tent.

You can see some great images from the 2009 run on Christian Aid's Facebook page.
