EVERY DAY
Paula Radcliffe is a vocal advocate for family health and fitness and her concept of “Families on Track” encompasses everything she believes in as a runner…but more importantly as a mum! This new exciting event offers an opportunity for the whole family to enjoy a safe, fun and competitive event as a unit together. Mum, Dad. Kids, Grandparents, and other family members complete the 10km distance as a continuous relay, in whichever order or combination they decide upon. This offers a unique concept of adults and children running together, embracing exercise, but in a fun race format that can include everyone, no matter what age or ability.

RunFestRun is the brainchild of legendary broadcaster and presenter Chris Evans. Keen runner and multi-marathoner Chris set out to find a way to bottle the elation you feel at completing a challenge and pour it all into a weekend of celebration filled with running and partying and families making memories... and so RunFestRun was born, ticking all of those boxes and so many more! "We want people to join us for a jam-packed weekend of running while having a great time outdoors with friends and family. Whether it is your first run or your hundredth, grab your trainers and join us for the nation’s biggest running party."
In a career spanning over three decades, Steve Cram’s many achievements include World, European and multiple Commonwealth Games titles over 1500m and 800m. In 1985, Steve broke three world records in the 1500m, 2000m and Mile, all within 19 days - the latter lasting almost nine years. Following retirement on the track, he became the voice of athletics on the BBC following the retirement of David Coleman in 2000.
Paula is a three-time winner of the London Marathon (2002, 2003, 2005), three-time New York Marathon champion (2004, 2007, 2008), and 2002 Chicago Marathon winner. For sixteen years she was the world's fastest female marathoner, holding the Women’s World Marathon Record from 2003 until 2019. Since retiring from competitive marathon racing Paula now commentates on athletics for the BBC.
Colin is a legendary hurdler, multiple gold medallist, world record holder and broadcaster, and without doubt one of the finest and most loved athletes Great Britain has ever produced. Colin continues to be a fixture on our TV screens long after retiring from athletics after seamlessly making the transition into broadcasting, most notably as an integral part of BBC Athletics, covering every major event since the Athens Olympics in 2004.
Sports reporter, presenter, author and self-confessed running addict, Vassos is the long-time co-host of Chris' Breakfast Show both at the BBC and Virgin Radio where he has spent years covering all things sport whilst achieving new sporting feats himself. He began running in his thirties and has since gone on to complete endurance runs all over the world. His love of running has driven him from the world's hardest mountain race to the infamous 153 mile Spartathlon ultra-race, and he's chronicled his experiences by writing two books dedicated to the sport. Alongside Chris, Vassos wanted to create a festival to get people active and to show just how fun running can be - and you'll probably spot him doing just that during a race or two at RunFestRun!
Full time supermum and head of mission control that is Evans Towers, Natasha is the neck that turns the head of the man behind the mic of The Virgin Radio Breakfast Show. Noah (Age 10, Number 1 Son) says; "Mum is one of those really annoying people who is good at any sport she decides to have a bash at. The opposite of Dad. She's also extremely competitive. So watch out Crammy, Colin and Paula!" Eli (Age 7, Number 2 Son) says; "yeah!" Ping & Pong (Natasha's one-year-old twins) were unavailable for comment.
