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 a 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 whilst reducing the waste created by events.

Once you enter you will receive a confirmation email. More information about where to collect your number will be sent closer to the event – Enjoy!
