GRUFC 4 x 4 x 48 Challenge

We are a group of lads from GRUFC, united by our passion to support two amazing charities: Motor Neurone Disease Association and Blood Cancer UK. These causes are very close to our hearts, and we’re committed to pushing our bodies and minds to the limit from 17th to 19th July to raise vital funds for them.

Starting at 6pm on Friday 17th July, we will run 4 miles every 4 hours for a full 48 hours. Our route includes five loops of 4 miles around Guisborough — two woodland loops, two road loops, and one along the lines. We’ll have access to the Quick Tap throughout the event, keeping us fuelled and ready. The weekend will be filled with events like BBQs, breakfasts, and watching the Summer Internationals together. We especially welcome your support during those tough graveyard shifts at 2am and 6am!

We’re grateful for the help of some amazing volunteers who will be assisting us all weekend long. And yes — beers are definitely encouraged on Sunday evening as we celebrate completing this challenge!

Here’s how you can help: we’re looking for individuals or businesses to sponsor each leg of our event with a suggested donation of £100 per leg. Each runner is also contributing £50 as their entry fee. Your support means everything to us and the charities we’re championing.

Please join us in making a real difference by sponsoring a leg or donating whatever you can. Together, we hope to bring vital support where it’s needed most.
