Ali Brownlee 5K run returns to Middlesbrough

A run in memory of a BBC presenter and football commentator is set to return after three years.

The last Ali Brownlee 5K was held in Middlesbrough in 2019 but subsequent events were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It is named in honour of BBC Radio Tees presenter and long-standing Middlesbrough commentator Ali Brownlee, who died in 2016 aged 56.

It is one of three runs around Middlesbrough in September.
