The Sapphire Running Zone specialises in providing running training and fundraising support for runners of all levels. Founder Tim Rogers is a veteran of 73 marathons and over 200 half marathons, many in fancy dress. He held the world record for running an official marathon on all 7 continents in the quickest time, has written 3 running books and was one of the first to run all of the world marathon majors in a calendar year. Here Tim and special guests will share their experiences and answer your questions. Running is one the greatest ways to lose weight and has huge mental health benefits, but it’s even better when you get the right support.
Make sure everyone has the best day possible by doing your bit to help create the perfect event. Start in the right area, get the most from your water stations, be careful where you answer the call of nature, keep moving at the finish and thank the volunteers. There is a lot to think about!
