Geoff and the Great North Run 2004.......

I was not surprised how quickly it filled up, the fact that it did so quickly and so far in advance of the event shows that the Great North Run is one of the premier and most popular international road events in the world. You have to get in quick as the BUPA Great North Run reached its field capacity of 47,000 participants several months ago, forcing organisers to close entries for the 26 September event. www.lupus.org.uk /article.php?i=171   (385 words)

Rxpress - Great Britain road numbering scheme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The level of correlation differs; the M4 motorway stays very true to the line of the A4 road throughout England, whereas the M1 motorway meanders a path not too close to the A1 road, although generally north-south like its predecessor.
