What our runners say

Thomas, who ran for teamGO in Run to the Beat 2009 said:

"Yesterday I completed my first ever running event and what a way to start by entering the Run to the  Beat Half Marathon for the NSPCC! My memories of the run were the music stands, the continuous support from the crowd, running through Greenwich Park, and of course the encouraging shouts and cheers of support from you guys at the four mile NSPCC cheer point!!"
