On International Women’s Day we’re celebrating all the incredible women who run, volunteer and support the AEPG Great Eastern Run every year 🏃‍♀️

From those chasing personal bests to those running their very first half marathon, women play a huge role in making race day so special — both on the start line and behind the scenes as part of our amazing volunteer team.

To every woman who has taken part in the Great Eastern Run, supported a runner, or helped make the event happen — thank you and happy 💜
