The first outing of a new Run Through event in the north-east the Jarrow 10km looked like it was going to be a goodie. Run Through do events well! They are well organized and always a bobby dazzler of a medal and fantastic goodies at the end. I entered Jarrow 10km a little while ago …
A Little Girl’s Running Dream Comes True
