Nick Smith one of our Yorkshire Blue Badge Guides recently started a Yorkshire Running Tours business with business partner Michael Phan.

To officially launch the venture Nick has organized a charity run around York to raise money for the Forget me not children’s charity and the British Red Cross. The run starts from York Railway Station on Saturday 7th May, where they will be joined by friends, family and local businesses, as they make their way through York’s cobbled streets raising funds.

Nick will be drawing on his local knowledge to bring York’s history to life whilst coaching the runners.  We hope you’ll agree that Yorkshire Running Tours is a great way to keep fit and gain insight from being escorted with a professional Blue Badge Guide.

Good luck with the fundraising – two great causes.
