Sports presenter Mike Bushell has been announced as the celebrity co-host of The Running Awards in association with everydayhero featuring the Runner’s World Personal Best Awards, which takes place at indigo at The O2 in London on Friday 24 April.

Mike Bushell was presenting the inaugural Running Awards in 2014, and the organisers have confirmed that he will be back to co-host the 2015 bigger and bolder awards ceremony at the new prestigious venue.
