The night before the

Great North Run!

 

In order to give all our runners the best possible start, we decided to host
our very own “Pasta party” the night before. This would enable all our runners – and their supporters – to stock up on those much needed carbs! In order to resist temptation, we served only water and soft drinks (although I do have it on good authority that some sneaked off to the local pub on the way home – yes, you know who you are and so do we!!)

The atmosphere was great, with everyone mixing and getting to know each other. Our toptrainer Caroline went through her top tips for surviving the Great North Run – including where the ladies could keep their supply of jelly babies! We also had our very own “Nail Technicians” – Patsy and Barbara, who painted all the runners nails orange – yes, even the boys! A great night and much fun had by all.....
