Each year, on 1 December, the world commemorates W Each year, on 1 December, the world commemorates World AIDS Day. People around the world unite to show support for people living with HIV and to remember those who have died from AIDS-related illnesses. We can’t hold a big event this year so our members are doing red ribbon runs solo, in pairs, or as a VI runner and guide plus 1. #worldaidsday #worldaidsday2020 #hiv #aids #rocktheribbon #endthestigma #redribbon #aidsawareness #hivawareness #lgbtq

While we’re still waiting for club organised run While we’re still waiting for club organised runs to return (not too long now!! 😁) our members are making the most of Buddy runs - two of our runners schlepped up to Simonside early this morning to get 14 miles done on the trails, completing their virtual Wooler Half-Marathons. The conditions were perfect; cold, crisp, and clear - perfect for making necessary photo stops 📸 #newcastlefrontrunners #lgbtrunners #buddyruns #pairrunning #virtualrun #woolerhalfmarathon #trailruns #lockdownruns #photostops

Today should have been @trailoutlaws Wooler Half M Today should have been @trailoutlaws Wooler Half Marathon, and never ones to miss out, 2 of our runners thought “in for a penny, in for a pound” - 14 miles up on Simonside Hills 🏔 conditions started out beautifully, but took a grim turn with the mist, rain, and cold setting in! Trail runners always come prepared though - waterproofs at the ready and still smiling by the end #newcastlefrontrunners #lgbtrunners #trailoutlaws #woolerhalfmarathontrail #trailrunning #simonsidehills #startedoutwell #trailrunning #runningwhatevertheweather
