Great North Run 2023

A huge thank you and congratulations to the 43 runners who took part on Sunday 10th September

Congratulations and a massive thank you to the 43 runners who took part in the Great North Run for CRY on Sunday 10th September 2023!

It was a brilliant day, though with a mixture of running conditions. Firstly the weather was sunny and hot, quickly turning into torrential rain, with runners and supporters alike seeking cover in the charity village. Though neither of these are ideal conditions for running, the team did amazingly well to all get round the course safely.

It was lovely to meet and congratulate the twenty-seven CRY runners who came to visit us at the charity marquee and hand them a CRY medal along with some much needed refreshments.

We would like to thank all of the CRY runners’ friends and families for coming along and cheering on the CRY team.

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.
