The Mr Men and Little Miss Team in Portsmouth
The BUPA Great South Run is one of the most popular races in the UK and the historic city of Portsmouth plays host to Europe’s premier 10 mile road running event, the BUPA Great South Run, held in October of every year.
A celebration of a fast, flat and scenic course, complemented by a superb atmosphere has propelled the BUPA Great South Run to become one of the most popular running events in the UK. It is an event that is just as suited to the international elite as it is to the recreational jogger and our team is always easy to spot in our trademark Mr Happy and Mr Tickle running vests, only made possible by the generous support we received from Chorion Rights Limited.
For the BUPA Great South Run, CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA supporters are along the route to help cheer our team to the finish where a team of staff and volunteers are on hand to greet each and every runner, no matter how long it takes to complete the course! Each runner, their families and friends are also invited to joins us afterwards at a simple reception, held just yards from the finish, to enjoy some refreshment and a chance to unwind and reflect on the day with fellow Mr Men and Little Miss team mates.
Every runner is a star in our eyes and deserving of our deepest gratitude. The motivation and determination required for preparation and training, with runners pounding the streets in often wet and cold conditions is awe-inspiring. Whilst completing 10 miles is a huge personal achievement, many runners also let us know that collecting sponsorship monies is almost more demanding. For this, we also like to thank and include runners’ families and friends whose kind sponsorship and encouragement is so important; this support and commitment is so deeply appreciated and vital in raising much needed funds for our fight against the biggest childhood cancer.
We are so grateful for the opportunity, so proud of all our runners and so thrilled with everything that is achieved through the BUPA Great South Run.
