When Katie’s mum is diagnosed with bowel cancer her life grinds to a stop. But when she meets an elderly man in a radiotherapy waiting room corridor – everything changes. 

One in two of us will get cancer in our lifetimes. It can happen to anyone. People who run the marathon… They’ve only got themselves to blame.

Created by multi award-winning writer-performer Katie Arnstein (Bicycles & Fish, Sexy Lamp, Sticky Door – VAULT Festival, Edinburgh Fringe; Wolverine Woman – BBC Three), The Long Run is a tender, emotionally rich – and frequently hilarious – story about human connection, cancer diagnosis, and long-distance running.
