Run The Cities set to end their epic challenge in Norwich

Tom Vosper, Ben Robbins, Alex Robbins, Nathan Cooper, Jon Stanley and Sam Brooks have already run a total of 400km since starting on September 14.

Their project, dubbed Run The Cities, will see the group run a total of 550km across the UK's 55 cities.

Now, as they pass the halfway point, Tom's partner, Megan Edwards said: "They're tired, there have been some injuries, but they've had so much support from people around the country.

"They have experienced amazing generosity, from people coming out to run with them to hotels offering them a free stay.

"There has been some bad weather the last few days which has been difficult, but when one of them is low the others work hard to be positive and keep the morale high."

The group of friends is running to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK, a cause close to each of their hearts. They have so far raised more than £11,000 on their Just Giving page.

"They will start at Carrow Road at 4pm," she explained. 

"Anyone who wants to run with them or cheer them on can join us there. We are hoping for a really big turnout.

"Then they will finish outside The Forum and we will set up a big finish line for them."
