Morrisons is reportedly set to replace Bupa as the sponsor of the Great North Run, in a deal worth ‘millions’ of pounds.
The Bradford-based supermarket chain is expected to announce the 4 year deal today (Friday 9 January).

A headline sponsorship deal would include eleven events, taking place around the country, including the Great Yorkshire Run and Great Manchester Run.
