Celebrating sport and art

I’ve written a new interactive family show based on my experience of being Great North Run poet in Residence last year. I went along to the parkrun in Newcastle recently to chat to family runners about running and writing.
I did several workshops with children aged ten to eighteen in Newcastle and Manchester to prepare to write the show and realised some things that would never have struck me without getting to chat to them, and do some poetry and performance games around ideas of health and exercise.
I kept being astounded by things I found out when I was training for the Great North Run last year and writing poems about the process.
Hello, I'm Sarah. I'm 16 years old and I'll be writing a blog about working with Great North Run Culture through the Changemakers programme.
The big day arrives... Kate shares her thoughts about taking part in the 2011 Bupa Great North Run in her final poem.
