Why should I join Team Traidcraft?
"I am not a runner, and if it wasn't for Team Traidcraft I may never have realised just how fun running can be. I had a great day and it was a welcome relief to be greated at the finish with a nice cup of Fairtrade tea and some Fairtrade choccy biccies. Thanks guys :)"
Suzanne Bradford, Team Traidcraft 2011
"I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of running support of the brilliant work that Traidcraft does. From the moment I signed up to well after the event, the encouragement and support was second to none. I would love to run on behalf of Traidcraft anytime."
Bethany Brady, Team Traidcraft 2011
"Despite there being over 50,000 runners you can feel lonely in the crowd. Running for Traidcraft took away the loneliness as fellow Traidcraft runners encourage you and the Traidcraft marquee at the end is an oasis of warmth, friendliness and much sought after refreshments."
Heather Binmore (Team Traidcraft 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011)
