10th October - 10th October 2026
100 mile charity challenge
Location: Drurudge Bay Country Park
On Saturday 10 October, I’ll be attempting to run 100 miles (161km) in a single day around Druridge Bay Country Park in Northumberland, raising money and awareness for Tiny Lives, a charity supporting premature and sick new born babies and their families. The reason behind the challenge is very personal to me. Both of my daughters were born prematurely. Maya was born at 31 weeks and Millie at just 27 weeks, and as a family we experienced first-hand the incredible care and support provided to premature babies and their families.

Friday 10-11am is Dancemix Gold. This is a fun dance fit class for everybody to improve neurological and cardiovascular fitness. Advance booking is not required.
Bethan chooses music to help people 'feel' and get the most from their exercise. There is no floor work in the classes and exercise can be enhanced using light weights and drum sticks.
Bethan's philosophy is that exercise should be a joyful experience for all. She offered this message, “As an instructor with Crohn's disease and chronic fatigue, I respect different capabilities. I want to encourage others to embrace their body, keep moving and celebrate life! Moving together makes it that much better. The good vibes aren't just down to me, it's a collective from the amazing people in the class! The classes attract the more mature movers but are open to all ages. I noticed this year an increase in people new to the area, retired, widowed; Any body looking for a safe space to connect and find joy.”
Visitors are welcome to come for a dance too.bodyelectricbethan@hotmail.com ; www.facebook.com/bodyelectricbethan or ring 07503 212 469
