Run don't walk to city centre pub where you could win free £50 bar tab

WHILE you're likely to be absolutely knackered if you're running the Great North Run this weekend, there is some added incentive to get to town in good time if you need to head back to Newcastle.

And that's because a city centre pub has announced it will be offering a free £50 bar tab and charity donation to the first entrant who turns up with their medal.

If, rather than staying by the seaside, you're planning on trying to get back into Newcastle itself for your post-run bevs, you might want to head straight for Fleet Street.
