REASONS TO RUN:
“I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the Kingston Break-fest run on Sunday. I ran the 20 miler and I had the best time. It was such a well organised race with friendly volunteers and a really great atmosphere more widely. That kind of culture comes from the organisers ultimately and I just wanted to to say how grateful I am for all the hard work and energy that all of you have put into the event. Thanks so much!” – Nick
