Olympic gold medalist Sally Gunnell is getting on board with a new UK fitness campaign made possible by funding support from Royal Caribbean International called Royal Caribbean Runners where groups are designed to encourage health and fitness in everyday life in this high profile year.
“There is simply no better time to get healthy than right now,” said Gunnell. “Fitness has always played a key part in my life and I’m thrilled to be sharing this passion to help get people motivated and taking their first running steps. Getting involved is easy and whether you’re a seasoned athlete, a weekend warrior or a beginner looking to start your first run, the Royal Caribbean Runners groups are making now the time to do it.”
Supported by Royal Caribbean International and Sport England, the new running groups will see individuals take part in a 12 week program designed to improve their health and fitness in a fun and supportive environment. Not just for hardcore fitness fanatics, the new running groups are all about growing grassroots participation in the sport and getting Londoners to see the many benefits that come from staying active in day-to-day life.
Anyone joining a new Royal Caribbean Runners group will receive a dedicated ‘Royal Caribbean Runners’ t-shirt on sign-up and those that complete the 12 week course will also receive a waterproof running jacket. Group leaders recruiting ten people or more into the new program will receive an iPod Shuffle and, as an extra incentive, all leaders and runners will be entered into a prize draw to win a cruise for two people on board Royal Caribbean International’s Independence of the Seas in 2012, sailing directly out of Southampton, England.
