I love to watch the London Marathon and see all the fun runners dressed up as Superman, Spiderman, Bananas and other amazing fancy dress costumes and think it is a great way to raise money for charity. And so, reportedly, do the Daily Mirror who is offering a prize for the best fancy dress costume at the Great North Run.
The Great North Run is the second largest marathon in the world and takes place every September. Running between Newcastle upon Tyne and South Shields in the UK, competitors gather together for this great run for fitness, fun and most of all, to raise money for their chosen charity.
The Great North Run was first held in 1981 and over 12,000 runners participated. Now the number of runners has grown to an amazing 54,000..only the London Marathon attracts this amount of runners and athletes.
Wearing Fancy Dress during the race can make the whole event such fun and is also a great way to promote your chosen charity. If there are a group of you running you can all wear matching costumes or a range of costumes like superheroes or a group of characters from a film or TV show. If you’re looking for something less restrictive try the Running Man Accessory Set, a very popular fancy dress for charity runners. The choice of Adults Fancy Dress Costumes is huge, there is certainly going to be a costume to suit all runners.
So we wish all the participants very good luck in this year’s race and I hope you raise tonnes of money for your chosen charities. Have fun, run well and enjoy yourself in whichever Adults Fancy Dress Costume you choose!
