Run, Recover, Repeat: Pernaton Takes on the Great North Run 2024

On the 8th of September, we sampled Pernaton at the biggest half marathon in the world – The Great North Run. We brought Pernaton directly to the hands (and muscles!) Of over 24,000 participants. As the world’s largest half marathon, with a staggering 60,000 runners, this event was the perfect platform to introduce Pernaton to the active community seeking natural relief for their joints and muscles.


The energy at our stand was electric, thanks to our 10 enthusiastic brand ambassadors, all decked out in Pernaton-branded uniforms, ready to engage with runners, friends, and family.

A Standout Activation with a Personal Touch

But we didn’t stop at just handing out samples! We leveled up the experience by having a qualified sports massage therapist, offering post-race mini-massages using Pernaton Cooling Gel, ready to cool tired joints and muscles, relieving tension when massaging on application. This personalised touch was a massive hit, with many runners seeking relief for their tired legs. The demand was high, but the feedback was even higher. Our Cooling Gel was well and truly in demand!


Adding even more fun to the day was our Pernaton mascot, who roamed the village, interacting with runners, their families, and friends. The mascot brought smiles and plenty of photo opportunities, further cementing our presence at the event.

What Our Community Says:

The best part of the day? Hearing the fantastic feedback from the running community:

  • “I like that it’s all natural. I’m always concerned about chemicals in other products.”
  • “This is already giving me relief for my arthritis. I love that it doesn’t clash with my other medications.”
  • “I use this product already—it’s absolutely amazing!”
  • “It’s not greasy like some other gels. I love it!”
  • “I’ve just applied it, and it’s so refreshing on my legs!”

What’s Next?

While we’ve wrapped up a successful day of sampling at the Great North Run, the journey doesn’t end here. There’s so much more to come as we look ahead to even bigger plans to continue to support your muscle and joint health at future events.

We look ahead to even bigger plans for next year’s event. Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we continue to share the power of Pernaton with the world! Keep moving, naturally!
