LightupU

Be Seen Be Safe

Our products make you more visible in poor light or the hours of darkness. Run, c*c LightupU is a range of products inspired by David Andrews.

In 2001 whilst out running at night, David was hit by a passing car. Although he was wearing hi visibility clothing the car didn’t see him and simply drove away, leaving the wing mirror ripped off by the force of the impact. David was left hanging trapped and unconscious in a low growing tree at the side of a country road. David did make a full recovery thanks to a passing motorist who witnessed t

he incident and the dedication of the emergency services. Once he was back running again he decided to source, develop and market a range of illuminated wearable products. He wanted to provide a strong visual awareness for anyone exercising during the hours of darkness. Once these products reached the market he realised that there was a need not just for runners and c*clists but dog walkers, hikers, backpackers, horse riders, fishermen, children; anyone outside in the dark or poor visibility...

Good luck to those of you running the today! Come and tell us how you did when you finish!

You don’t feel like running today…

That’s normal.

No runner feels motivated every day.
Some days it’s cold.
Some days you’re tired.
Some days the sofa wins the argument.

But here’s the difference:

You don’t need motivation…
you just need to start.

Because once you’re out the door:
✔ The first mile loosens up
✔ The second mile feels easier
✔ And by the third… you’re glad you went

It’s never the run you regret.
It’s the one you didn’t do.

So lace up. Step outside.
Even if it’s just 10 minutes.

And if it’s dark… make sure you’re seen.

Light up your run with LightupU.

Running Thought of the Day

Running is the only activity where you can go out with no destination… and still come back feeling like you’ve achieved something amazing.

Just you, the road, and the quiet satisfaction of putting one foot in front of the other.

Simple. Powerful. And somehow always worth it.
