We are running the Great North Run together in September 2023. It is a half marathon, running from Newcastle to South Shields. We chose to race for Samaritans, a charity close to our hearts. Samaritans is there 24/7, 365 days a year, to provide support to those in crisis. The volunteers provide a life saving service, being there for those in their darkest hour.

Joy is on a journey of couch to half marathon! Having never ran before, she is learning how to run for this amazing charity! She is working incredibly hard to complete the full half marathon without stopping!

Erin took up running during lockdown and fell in love with it! She has ran her first 2 marathons in the space of a year and can’t wait to return to the place of her very first half marathon! She is aiming to complete the half marathon in under 2 hours!
