Luke Guttridge and Ryan Gilligan recently helped to launch a brand new high profile running event taking place in Northampton this autumn at Sixfields.

'The Run 09 - Northamptonshire' will take place on Sunday October 4th giving runners, joggers and walkers of all ages and abilities the chance to take part in a mass participation event to rival the infamous Great North Run.

There will be 5km and 10km courses a series of children's races as well as a celebration of local music, dance and entertainment.

The Run 09 will offer something for everyone;
The enthusiast runner a tempting opportunity for a personal best on a fast closed road course
The recreational runner a challenging run in a great setting
The charity jogger a unique opportunity to run for money in the heart of the town
The non runner or jogger a really good reason to get out there and experience a memorable adventure with a unique blend of fitness, culture and music

Starting at Sixfields Stadium, the course bypasses some of the most well known landmarks - the Express Lift Tower, All Saints Church, The Guildhall, St Giles Church and the Market Square.

Cobblers supporters are welcome to run in aid of the club's Charitable Foundation.
