RunGeordieRun is Mark Allison's sponsored run along a 3100 mile route from the west coast (Pacific) to the east coast (Atlantic) of the USA. The run starts in California and finishes in New York City, running through a total of 15 states. The run starts in May 2011 and will be done over the course of 100 days and Mark will therefore be running 31 miles a day on average.
Mark's motivation for such a feat is to raise funds for 2 local charities - St Benedict's Hospice and The Children's Foundation and he hopes to raise £50,000 (£25,000 for each).
