We have been extensively researching into what runners consider important, and sustainability is fast becoming the most important area. Click HERE to see what RunThrough is doing for sustainability.

T-Shirts at events have been a hot topic mainly around them not being of high enough quality to wear on a regular basis. So we have decided to tackle this by offering a T-Shirt (Women – CLICK HERE | Men – CLICK HERE) with a retail value of £22 for £12  with the addition of the event logo printed on the chest.

We can do this with our partner RT Kit as part of a strategic decision to not only raise awareness about the quality of the product but also to counteract the increasing costs incurred in the current climate.

After every race you’ll be able to grab a delicious pack of LOVE CORN.
If that’s not motivation to cross that finishing line, we don’t know what is in life and in snacks, it’s all about finding love in the little things.

LOVE CORN is delicious crunchy corn that makes lunchtimes more exciting, meetings go quicker and life a little bit better, one kernel at a time.

Whole corn kernels simply roasted off the cob and seasoned with the best ingredients to make the ultimate feel good snack.
50% less fat than crisps, high fibre, low sugar, gluten free and vegan.
