All about the A1 Series
Peterborough based Advance Performance, the running store for everyone, sponsor most local running races as part of the company philosophy of supporting the community. As a result of this, the A1 Series was born.
In 2010, Brooks are supporting the series wholeheartedly and have kindly given a substantial level of prizes and support.
Previously supported by Nike, Mizuno and New Balance, the Series has grown and developed and has raised over £10,000 for the British Heart Foundation, Marie Curie Cancer Care and Sue Ryder, Thorpe Hall Hospice.
Sue Ryder Care Thorpe Hall Hospice is very excited to be the chosen A1 Series 2010 charity. They are looking forward to joining us in raising much needed funds to help the people it cares for get the best from life.
25p will be donated for EVERY entrant at EVERY race
The A1 Series 2009 raised much needed funds and we are looking to raise even more in 2010!
