 It
was an emotional day for everyone, especially for those who were
running in memory of a friend or family member who died suddenly.
We were blessed with
beautiful sunshine on race day – it was wonderful weather for spectators
but was an unusually warm September day for running!
Despite the heat and the huge number of entrants many of our runners
still managed to achieve amazing times which was quite a feat.
It was
great to meet so many of our runners and supporters in person on the day
and present them with a well earned goody bag and chocolate supply.
There was
an atmosphere of achievement mixed with exhaustion around the CRY
meeting point. Fortunately we seemed to have the best location for sea
views - it was a beautiful vista, perfect for viewing the red arrows
whilst cooling down.
Thank you
to all who came to meet us.
This was
the first year that CRY has had a presence at the Great North Run. Next
year we hope to have an even stronger presence as 2010 is CRY’s 15th
anniversary year and Sunday 19th September 2010 will be the
30th Great North Run.
Thank you
to all CRY supporters who have sent in photographs from the day -
plenty
more photos can be found here.
We hope
that all of our runners are now feeling less sore than they were at the
finish and that everyone has fully recovered!
Once again
an enormous "thank you" to all of our runners for your huge effort in
completing the half marathon and for all of your fundraising for CRY.
Thank you also to all who have sponsored a CRY runner for the Great
North Run or made a donation. It was a fantastic day.
The CRY Team - Rebecca, Ben, Laura & Tony
