Redbrik Half Marathon makes waves with Peak FM partnership
North Derbyshire’s most listened-to commercial radio station, Peak FM, has partnered with the 2019 Redbrik Chesterfield Half Marathon.
The leading media organisation will return as sponsor of the event’s Five Mile Run after a successful first two years for the revamped Redbrik Half Marathon, which has already seen a record number of Early Bird sign-ups.
The Peak FM Five Mile Run will form part of the 2019 Redbrik Chesterfield Half Marathon, along with a 1km Fun Run and a Wellbeing Challenge, geared to groups, businesses and families.
As with 2018, the 2019 Peak FM Five Mile Run – which last year saw more than 250 entries – will start at 9:30 along with the Redbrik Half Marathon, from Queen’s Park, Chesterfield.
The route for the beginner to intermediate-focused event will head out of Queen’s Park, east onto Chatsworth Road, and north towards Ashgate Road and the Half Marathon’s main charity partner, Ashgate Hospice, via Old Hall Road and Barker Lane.
It will then loop southwards and back onto Chatsworth Road towards Queen’s Park to finish.
Early bird entries are now available into the Peak FM Five Mile Run with a 10% discount using the code PEAKFM19.
Tim Smith, Content Controller at Peak FM, said: “We’re delighted to support the 2019 Redbrik Chesterfield Half Marathon for a third year.
“It’s a fantastic community event and great to see it so well received with 1,500 signed up last time and £100,000 raised for important charities like Ashgate Hospice and Bluebell Wood.
“Once again Ricky and Becky from our Breakfast Show are expected to do the Peak FM 5 Mile Run and we’ll be hoping to get more people than ever running it this year!”
John Timms, Event Director at Redbrik Chesterfield Half Marathon, said: “Last year’s Redbrik Chesterfield Half Marathon – including the Peak FM Five Mile Run – was a huge success, with so many people turning out not just to take part but to cheer the runners on.”
“The profile this partnership gives the Redbrik Chesterfield Half Marathon in the town and the surrounding areas is great for the event and we’re delighted to see that continue.”
“It’s been fantastic to see the response of the people of Chesterfield to the Redbrik Half Marathon. We’re aiming to beat last year’s sign-up total this time around to keep the growth going, and the success of the Peak FM Five Mile Run is a big part of that.”
