Claire Lomas, who is 16 weeks pregnant, was left paralysed from the chest down following a horse-riding accident in 2007.

She began the half-marathon on Wednesday, running more than 21 kilometres from Newcastle to South Shields.

Ms Lomas crossed the finish line at about 10:00am on Sunday (local time), according to the BBC.

Not to be a buzzkill but she didn't complete a half marathon. She walked 2 2/3s of a mile everyday for 5 days
