The Great North Run will take place on Sunday as scheduled following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
It will be held in a “subdued” form as a mark of respect to the Royal Family.
“The event has traditionally been a celebration of the extraordinary achievements of ordinary people,” said race organisers.
“This year it will be an opportunity for us to come together and express our condolences, while celebrating the life of our extraordinary Queen.”
A total of 60,000 people have entered the 41st running of the world’s biggest half marathon.
“The thousands of runners taking part are expected to raise an estimated £25m in much-needed charitable donations – a fitting tribute to the Queen who lived her life in service to the country and its people,” added the organisers.
“We would encourage runners to communicate their respect for the Queen in any way they feel appropriate, and look forward to welcoming runners from all over the UK and the world to the North East this weekend.”
The wheelchair races start at 10:15 BST, the women’s race at 10:20 and the visually impaired race at 10:22. The men’s race gets under way at 10:45, the same time as the club and fun runners.
The BBC’s live coverage will start at 10:00 and continue to 12:15 on BBC Two, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.
On BBC iPlayer at 13:00, The Great North Run 2022: The Mass Finishers will be on through to 14:00, and will show the mass finishers and feature interviews with some of the runners.
The first UK Athletics 5K Road Championships, due to take place in Newcastle on Friday, as well as the Junior and Mini Great North Run, scheduled for Saturday, were postponed.
