The Great North Run will be kicking off this weekend, with thousands of sweaty hopefuls pounding the pavements of Gateshead in a bid to complete the 13-mile course.
This year Timex were the official time sponsors of the Flora London Marathon and their dedication to encouraging you to get your sneakers on continues this autumn, as they are also sponsoring of the Great North Run and Great South Run.
With The Great North Run taking place in Gateshead on Sunday 5th October 2008 and The Great South Run on the 26th October in Portsmouth, the Ironman Triathlon Sleek 50 Lap Timex watch is the ideal running companion. The watch is fully equipped with multiple workout storage, synchro timer and memory lap counter to help you prepare for the race - or you can simply count down the minutes til the finish line comes in sight…
