Olympic legend backs rave running club
Tom AdamsFormer athlete Steve Cram has thrown his support behind a running group set up to boost mental health, joining them for one of the events.
Worcester's Rave Run Club was set up by Tom Adams and mixes rave culture and exercise. The 44-year-old leads runners with a 15kg (33lbs) speaker on his back that blasts out dance and party music.
The first meet up in November saw about 70 people take part and it has now grown to 200 following the 5km (3.1 mile) route.
On Sunday night, Cram joined in, describing them as "a crazy bunch, it was great fun".
"I was able to dig out stuff I don't normally wear, the bright neon coloured clothing and I really enjoyed it," Cram added.
"It highlights how running has become a really good social tool for people to come together - the running's almost become the secondary bit of it.
"It was great fun, yet another great idea of how to get people together so it doesn't matter what the theme is."
Tom AdamsAdams said: "He thoroughly enjoyed it, he is proud and pleased of what we have created in Worcester."
Cram is also the mastermind behind the Worcester City Runs, which attracts thousands of runners and will be returning to the city on 13 September.
