Sweatshop - (Tuesday 29 July)


The marathon is the ultimate Olympic running challenge, whether you run it for a personal best (London 2008 for Jane) or better still run it to raise money for your favourite charity (Leukaemia research).

Linking in nicely with our next venue is arguably Britain's finest Olympic marathon runner

Ron Hill - Tokyo 1964, Mexico 1968, Munich 1972 and an Olympic PB of 2:09:28. Ron was the founder of Ronhill and Hilly Clothing Company, makers of performance apparel whose old shop on Market Street Hyde is now home to one of the market leaders in all things running 'Sweatshop'.

The team at Sweatshop not only have a store full of everything you could ever want to either run competitively or run as a gentle stress relieving pastime - between them they have a wealth of knowledge and experience to make anyone feel welcome.

Over the next few weeks Sweatshop will be raising money in their Hyde store culminating in an awesome raffle with excellent running related prizes being donated by their key suppliers

After leaving Sweatshop we even get to run past Dr Harold Shipmans old surgery just down the road !
