North v South is offering RIA members free access to get involved in this year’s event and afterparty!

North v South is a five day relay race from Edinburgh to Cardiff to London, where two teams go head-to-head in the ultimate Northern v Southern rivalry.

We finish at our own London afterparty, Finish Line Festival, which is a celebration of community, competition and the huge achievement.

It is an age-old rivalry bringing people together. More than a race it’s about community, doing good and celebrating every step. It’s open to all abilities. We’d love for RIA members to get involved in the race and come along to the finish line after party at Flat Iron Square in London.

The race this year takes place 29th April – 3rd May. Entries are available for both 10k and half marathon entries. Head to our website and sign up for the leg that suits you best!

RIA Members can email membership@runningindustryalliance.com to request the promo for 100% discount on entry, or look out for the code in the March Rundown. Places are limited and subject to availability.

Join the race for the challenge, see what our community is about and of course most importantly, help us decide who is better…
