Congratulations goes to our Business Support Manager, John, and all of our runners who took part in the Great South Run last Sunday! We're so grateful for all of the hard work you've put in and money raised. 🥳

John said, "The whole day was amazing! There was a real buzz in the streets and, even though the sun was blazing, the temperature was perfect for running.

My biggest takeaway from the day was the incredible energy from the crowd and how much of it they passed on to the runners. Their support really helped create such a fantastic atmosphere and made the whole experience even more memorable.

I ran 10 miles in 1 hour and 32 minutes, well within my 1 hour and 35 minute target."

Now,If that doesn't make you want to sign up for 2027, we don't know what will 😉

A HUGE thank you and congratulations to John, and all of our runners, we're so incredibly proud of you and hope you're all enjoying a well deserved rest!
