Another fantastic attendance 👏 💪
(Smiley face sticker explanation in comments 😂)
32 is the most we've ever had in a single session. We are so thrilled and proud that people want to run with us. Over the years we've built up a wonderful inclusive group with friendly and supportive people.

We had an away trip today for our group in Saltburn running the hardmoors 10k route. Some fabulous views and wonderful company along the way. Thank you to Jude for organising everyone and everything. And a special thank you to Vikki for the wonderful flapjacks again 👌👌

Delighted our kids clubs can benefit hugely from this as well as raising money for vulnerable kids across teesside. All the details in the shared post, if you'd like to get involved or can donate in any way that would be amazing.

A lovely sunny, but very warm evening🥵
Great to see so many people coming to our sessions, 30 this evening which is possibly an attendance record 😀
We had a split session tonight, out and back run for one group along the prom and some increasing distance intervals on the pier in the marina for the other group. Fantastic all round 👏

Our athlete of the month for August is Gareth. Amazing determination and focus, trying out some trail events as well. Really good going from his C25k graduation earlier this year 👏 💪

A few photos from yesterday's HM 60 miler. Amazing solo run from Dave who has definitely earned himself a huge breakfast this morning.
And the relay team, really supportive running from everyone involved and such a lovely bunch of people 😊😊
