But did you know that each and every one of our races welcomes participants from all over the globe. In 2017 at the Tour of Tameside, we were delighted to see two runners travel all the way from China to compete in the famous 4 day back-to-back endurance event as well as a former Tameside resident returning to the region from Australia.

This weekend, some of the world’s best endurance athletes lined up for the Valencia Marathon and Half Marathon. At perhaps the last major event of the 2020 season, the racing certainly did not disappoint. Marathon Team Kenya absolutely dominated the Marathon race.
