Story

Paul Jones and I are long established runners and have been for a number of years. Through the difficulties and restrictions over the Covid-19 period, we both had organised Marathon’s cancelled so haven’t been able to run what we had planned to in 2020.  As well as our love for running, both Paul and I have been work colleagues at Cable Services at Wrexham for over 10 years, and felt twe wanted to do something to support our local Charity, Nightingale House Hospice as they would have been severely been affected with lack of events happening which would help them raise the vital funds for the hospice.  We have decided to run a half Marathon , that’s a total of 13.1miles on Sunday, September 13th, starting at 9.30am  which coincidentally is the same day as the “Great North Run” . virtual run .

The route we will be taking will be starting from the NEW Cable Services Group Head Office on the Wrexham Industrial Estate and planning on running a loop round to the Old offices at Rhosddu Industrial Estate and finish back at the NEW build.
