THE MINI Great North Run 2017 event has already reached full capacity just 12 days after the entry opened.
The 3500 limit for the increasingly popular family run was filled before the ballot date for the main half-marathon event has been decided upon.
It took until February for the 2016 event to fill up, demonstrating the growing popularity of the event which is aimed at families with children aged 3-8, and takes them on a 1.5km course, ending on the Great North CityGames track.
