We cannot wait to all come together on race weekend in November - not only to celebrate the nation’s strength to overcome what is one of the most anxious, challenging and unsettling times we’ve faced, but the incredible effort of our runners to continue their training and fundraising for their chosen charity through the Covid-19 crisis.”
