We had the pleasure of meeting Billy last year. Check out his documentary this evening at 9pm on BBC One.
The wait is almost over 👀 Dedicated over a year of my life to my @comicrelief IRONMAN challenge & was surreal watching it all back in the documentary
We are very happy to announce we've been awarded a grant from @TNLComFund that will support our Manchester programme's work with young people affected by homelessness and complex needs over the next year🫶
It’s been a cold few weeks in Worsley Woods for our Manchester group runs but loads of fun nonetheless!

Global tarmac network in a state of sheer panic.
Trying to persuade 4x Olympic gold medalist, captain of the open road and legend of the game Sir Mo Farah to come and rip up the ultra running scene. What challenge should we take on? What countries or continents should we attempt to cross? Let us know in the comments.
World records getting battered.

It doesn't matter what language everyone speaks, having good mental health is important and universal.

This week we had visitors from @Abianda1, who led a zine workshop for our Sisterhood session.
We explored themes such as women's health, fitness, beauty standards, and societal pressures and expectations.
Thank you to our workshop facilitators Alex and Ria.

Young people from the @Running_Charity designed the finisher T-shirts and medals for Sunday's The Big Half. ✨
