And Finally, Make Some Noise!
We all know how much a well-timed word of encouragement on race day lifts spirits and spurs us on and this is what runners raved about most over previous years. So, in honour of our 2020 Supporter Of The Year, bring the cowbells, blow the whistles, cheer and shout encouragement to all the runners, just the way Chris would have done.
