<p>On the 8th November I will be taking part in the 2nd Jordan Running Adventure Race. &nbsp;The race is set over 120 miles, run in one stage from Petra across the Wadi Rum Desert and finishing at the Dead Sea. &nbsp;All competitors are unsupported, carrying all their own food and equipment needed to complete the race in the 50 hour time limit. &nbsp;To put the distance in perspective, if I ran 120 miles north out of London, I would end up roughly at Newark North Gate railway station! &nbsp;I will be the first British (Yorkshireman) competitor to take part in the event. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am racing to raise money for two charities - FOAG and ZANE. &nbsp;I have covered all my racing costs personally to ensure that all money raised will go directly to charity.</p> <p>I would be very grateful for any support you are able to give.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Jim</p>
