Kirk-Odunubi alleges racial abuse at Great North Run

Running coach Emma Kirk-Odunubi says she was racially abused at about nine miles of the 13.1-mile Great North Run from Newcastle to South Shields on 13 September. She alleges spectators by a roundabout shouted "Protect our kids. Protect our England." and booed her. Organisers say they are "shocked and saddened" and have contacted her.
