Thanks Northern Runner

I've had a few bits of good news this week. The first was when local running shop, Northern Runner got in touch saying that they'd like to sponsor www.rungeordierun.com for another year. Of course, it goes without saying that all sponsor money is split between St Benedict's Hospice and The Children's Foundation.

My association with Northern Runner goes back quite a few years now. I've bought shoes and clothing from there for many of my major runs. It was actually John Lavender, one of the staff, who put me on to Brooks shoes back in 2007 a few months before I ran 874 miles from John O'Groats to Lands End. The rest, as they say, is history and those shoes saw me safely to Lands End while the run raised £34,108 for St Benedict's Hospice.

So I'd like to give a sincere thanks to Northern Runner for their continued support of this website and more importantly of the 2 charities I'm raising funds for. From my own experiences over the years, I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for new shoes or clothing. The shop is located on Low Friar Street in Newcastle just down from The Gate complex. Don't forget to tell them I sent you!

Northern Runner Sponsorship Pledge!

My friends at Northern Runner have pledged an impressive amount to the 2 charities in return for some advertising space on this blog. I, myself, have been shopping at Northern Runner in Low Friar Street, Newcastle (just down from the Gate) since 2002 and know first hand the quality of service and goods they have to offer. 

Time after time they've analysed my feet and have always recommended the best shoes to suit my running style. Well it's 7 years and 1000's of miles later and I've hardly had an injury in all of that time and I've had some cracking running gear too from them from base layer to outer layer clothing. Why not check their website out here - www.northernrunner.com or pop into the shop. Don't forget to tell Charlie and the staff that I sent you! In the meantime, it's a big thank you from Run Geordie Run on behalf of the 2 charities for the kind support shown from Northern Runner.
