Wynyard Park, a 700-acre business park on Teesside, has pledged its support for this weekend’s Stockton Duathlon Festival.

It has put together a sponsorship package worth £1,000 for the run-cycle-run event which takes place on Sunday (April 27).

Mr Johnson said: “We are delighted to be supporting the Stockton Duathlon Festival because we are passionate about Teesside and the wider North-East region and this event really helps to put the area on the map.

“There is a real community focus to the event, with races taking place for athletes of all abilities. I’m looking forwrd to starting one of the races and I would like to take this opportunity to wish all competitors the very best of luck.”
