Amongst the competitors and spectators, a group of dedicated runners from Newport-based insurance company GoCompare will be completing the marathon in an effort to raise funds for NSPCC Cymru, its charity partner. Running proudly in their midst and sure to help boost morale will be their CEO, Matthew Crummack, who will be donning a huge inflatable outfit and completing the race as the company’s famous mascot and opera singer, Gio Compario.
Crummack is anticipating the race with passion, stating:
“We are delighted to be an official partner of the Newport Marathon, and hope to inspire customers, employees and the local community to take part in this year’s race and raise funds for NSPCC Cymru.”
Matt Newman, CEO of Run 4 Wales, is enthusiastic about the day’s success, telling reporters that:
“We’re delighted to champion all things Newport with the help of GoCompare.”
The day will include a number of course options including a Family Mile and 10km run, as well as the traditional marathon route. For such events as this, flyer printing services can be used to raise awareness and increase the day’s overall popularity.
Places in each of the routes can be reserved through the event’s website. The marathon will be taking place on 5th May.
