26 Reasons to Love Running

Dawn Tuffery has made an A to Z cartoon running alphabet book, and will share some of the ‘letters’ in the Road and Cross Country newsletters over the coming weeks. She’ll also bring the books to an Eastside or clubnight soon, for anyone keen to have their own, and they can be also purchased online here.

Excerpt – A is for…ADVENTURE!


Running is a gateway drug to adventure. You try out a 5k, start hanging out with runners, train for a half marathon, a marathon, an ultra, and realise somewhere along the way that you could just maybe go up that hill and join on to that circuit that goes around that mountain and across the country. Embrace mud. Connect with your inner 3 year old and stamp through the middle of the puddles. It’s a beautiful thing.
