We all waited with bated breath to see if this years’ Great North Run would go ahead as planned, following the sad loss of our great Queen Elizabeth II. We found the images of the observed silence truly moving – well done Great Runs!

Whilst we, with the rest of the nation are taking a moment to reflect on this loss, we were also delighted for all the runners out there who had been training hard for the Great North Run. To know that they would be able get that PB, fundraising, or even a race finish in the bag, was the boost we all needed given the sombre nature of the nation.
As a sponsor of the Great Runs (you can find us on the reverse of your Great Run race number!) here at runderwear, it was great to see so many of you had donned your ‘hidden advantage’ in the form of your runderwear anti-chafe underwear and blister-free socks, to take on the 2022 Great North Run.
From an already impressive 12,000 runners, when the Great North Run launched in June 1981, the run now boasts a whopping 60,000 runners each year, taking their places to run the iconic Newcastle upon Tyne and South Shields route. It is our pride and joy to be able to help many of the 60,000 runners to complete the Great North Run blister and chafe free – what an accolade! In fact, we’ve lost count of the sheer volume of runderwear we’ve spotted in the #greatnorthrun feed – this is what we live for here at runderwear HQ!
