Congratulations and a huge thank you to the 50 runners who took part in the Simplyhealth Great North Run for CRY on Sunday 9th September 2018.
It was once again a lively event, living up to its billing as the world’s biggest half marathon. There were plenty of people out to show their support and to help the runners along their way and the whole community got involved. It was a warm, sunny day, encouraging even more friends and family turning out to cheer on their loved ones.
Of the CRY team, Jody Barford was the first runner to finish in a fantastic time of 01:31:25. It was lovely to meet and congratulate Jody and the 33 other CRY runners who came to visit us at the charity marquee and hand them a CRY medal along with some refreshments.
We would also like to thank all of the supporters who came along to cheer on all of the CRY runners, giving them the encouragement needed to keep going and finish this difficult challenge.
We look forward to welcoming new CRY runners to the Great North Run team next year, and hopefully seeing some of this year’s #charityheroes again! If you would like to run for CRY in the 2019 Great North Run on Sunday 8th September 2019, please email your interest to events@c-r-y.org.uk.
Once again, thank you to each and every one of our runners for their fantastic efforts in completing this event and fundraising so generously for CRY. They should all be extremely proud of their wonderful achievement:
