Dame Kelly Holmes will join the solgar pacers to help thousands get over the finish line at the AJ Bell Great North Run.
With Newcastle set to host over 60,000 participants in September’s AJ Bell Great North Run, Dame Kelly Holmes, the iconic Olympic athlete and double gold medallist, will be there as a start line VIP, amongst both Pacers lending her support to runners as the official Ambassador for the Solgar® Wellness Partnership with The Great Run Series 2025. Solgar, the gold standard vitamin and supplement company, sponsors the Pacers – the women and men whose goal it is to support the runners to race their best, get to the finish line and achieve their golden moment.
Dame Kelly says: “As someone who knows the importance of consistency & quality in looking after your health, becoming the Ambassador for Solgar® in their partnership of this year’s AJ Bell Great Run series is an absolute joy. Their focus on supporting people’s wellness journey, whether they’re going for a personal best in a half marathon or just starting out, really resonated with me. It’s not just about the big win in the big race but it’s also about the small every day wins and those moments of self-care that keep us happy and healthy."
As part of her role as the official Ambassador for the Solgar Pacers Dame Kelly, will be on-site on Sunday 7th to meet with fans, interact with the participants, and support the Solgar® Pacers in their mission to motivate runners and help them achieve their race day goal. Be it achieving a personal best or simply crossing the line of their first Great Run!
After the race Dame Kelly will be at the Solgar stand alongside the Pacers, to meet other race day participants, say hello and take pictures.
