THE Rainbow Trust is looking for athletes to run on the charity's behalf in this year's Great North Run.

The trust has been given a number of guaranteed places in the half marathon, which takes place on September 15.

North-East assistant fundraising manager, Emily Casson, said anyone wishing to run on behalf of the trust would be asked to pay £50 to cover registration fees and raise £300.

Anyone interested should contact Ms Casson on 07950-719264 or email emily.casson@rainbowtrust.org.uk
