Marathons are better with friends.

Tag the person youโ€™d trust to pace you through the final 6 miles, or the friend who always promises 'it's flat from here on out' when it's definitely a hill.

P.S. We still have charity spots!๐Ÿ‘‡

Add Some Extra Bite to Mealtimes!

Pickles are really having a moment! And rightly so.

They are such a versatile group of food that can add extra taste and crunch to snacks or mealtimes, easily elevating that post run sandwich or dish to a whole new level.

In a pickle about which is perfect for you?

Fear not! Simply visit Baxters UK website to find out more about our fantastic, Great Taste award-winning range featuring beetroot, kimchi, kraut, gherkins and onions.
