Greater Manchester Marathon

A huge thank you to the 650 amazing Christie runners who braved brutal weather conditions at the 2012 Greater Manchester Marathon.

The wind, cold, rain and mud made for extremely tough conditions and we are so proud of every single runner who started the race. If you took part but had to stop with injury or hypothermia, please feel proud of yourselves. We can only begin to imagine how tough it was out there and from the bottom of our hearts we are truly grateful and inspired by your determination to take part in such horrendous conditions.

We would also like to say a special thank you to everyone who braved the elements to come out on to the streets to cheer on our runners. Your support helped to keep spirits high and ensured that our team got the encouragement they needed.

Extra thanks also go to Colin Mee, Soreen and Simply Fresh for supporting our runners with much needed bananas and snacks and to Arnold Clark for providing a van to transport all our goodies to the charity marquee.
