2023 Rewind
A Celebration of Running
2023 has been a year to remember, with a packed calendar of running events in some of the UKs biggest cities, over 175,000 runners across 15 different start lines, tens of millions of pounds raised for good causes, world records broken, and a very fond farewell to Sir Mo Farah. Before we reach 2024, we’re taking a quick look back at all we’ve achieved together this year.
Read on to find out what made 2023 such an unforgettable celebration of running.

Spring

AJ Bell Great North 10k
In July, it was time for the hotly anticipated new look AJ Bell Great North 10k. Former Newcastle goalkeeper and Newcastle United Foundation trustee Steve Harper rang the official starting bell and 5,000 runners set off on a fantastic new route, across the Tyne Bridge and through Newcastle city centre, before the finish line on the Town Moor. Local supporters turned out in their droves, plus the karaoke hosts, DJ trucks and bands on the run kept spirits and motivation high.

Junior & Mini Rewind
It’s not all about the adults. We’ve been so impressed with our youngest runners across the country at our kids running events this year – their energy and positivity has been nothing short of phenomenal. Or, as our mascot Tyney might say, tortoisely terrific!
