Simplyhealth Great North Run - 8th September 2019
Congratulations and a huge thank you to the 50 runners who took part in the Simplyhealth Great North Run for CRY on Sunday 8th September 2019!
It was a brilliant event, with the sunshine beaming throughout the day. This led to the atmosphere being even livelier than usual, with over 58,000 participants this year and estimated crowds of over 200,000 spectators.
It was lovely to meet and congratulate the 42 CRY runners who came to visit us at the charity marquee and hand them a CRY medal along with some much needed refreshments.
Jody Barford was, once again, the first CRY runner to finish in a fantastic time of 01:30:20.
We would like to thank all of the CRY runners’ supporters for coming along and cheering on the CRY team. I know that your cheering would have helped them all get to the finish line.
We welcome any runners that would like to take part next year. If you would like to run for CRY in the 2020 Great North Run on Sunday 13th September, please email your interest to [email protected].
