MORE than 80 staff from Alamo and National Car Rental entered this year's BUPA Great North Run and the team is on target to raise £10,000 for three UK charities.

UK Youth (a charity for developing quality programmes for young people), Ben (a charity helping people who have worked in the motor industry) and Make A Wish (a charity turning the wishes of children with life threatening illnesses into reality) will benefit from the run.

The Great North Run is the world's biggest half marathon (13 miles) and this year attracted a record 47,000 runners.
