This year we had 50 runners from the TRC community take part in the Big Half, a half marathon around central London organised by the same people who bring us The London Marathon. Through Teachers’ run Club our community were able to access events entry for just £15, instead of the normal price of £56. Read some of the testimonials from our runners below:
“Yesterday was my first ever official running event / race after being a keen runner for many years ! I even ran 405 consecutive 5km without a single day off!
But thanks to TRC yesterday’s great half was my first ever medal
Many thanks”

“I really enjoyed The Big Half, really well organised, great atmosphere – very hot!! I was grateful for the discounted entry, a lot of the big races which have great atmospheres and motivate you are often the most expensive. This was a great alternative this year to paying £60+ for (other events).
Thanks again”

“I was very thankful for the place through TRC for the Big Half. It really helped me with a clear focus over the summer. We were in Spain for a month over the summer so I was prepared for the heat on the day! What a brilliant day. I ran with another teacher friend and we both ran a personal best.
I am so thankful for all that TRC offer. I would simply not cope with the demands of teaching without the joy that running brings!”
“Thank you very much for the discounted entry fee; it was much appreciated. The Big Half has always been a run that I enjoy, not only for the atmosphere but the community feel that goes with it. The community feel at the end of the run was lovely too. Nobody was too fast or too slow. Everyone just became involved in the run and encouraged each other.
The opportunity to run for a group of likeminded people was something that encouraged me to want to put in maximum effort.
Thank you again.”
