With much anticipation, after a long wait, 57,000 determined and dedicated runners made it to the Great North Run - the World’s biggest and best half marathon, made famous for its warm Northeast welcome, unbeatable atmosphere, and the millions raised for good causes.

The Pinnacle team not only got to join in the celebrations of the Great North Run’s landmark 40th staging, but the event also marked a huge turning point as the first sporting event the team was able to attend together since the beginning of the pandemic which made the occasion even more memorable.
