My school do a Curry run every year to raise money for The Soldiers' Charity but this is the first year I've been able to run it. So on the 27th April 2013 about 400 people will be running one of these three distances;

4km for all the soldiers that are killed in action. 395 soldiers=3950m rounded up to 4km ( this is the distance I am running)

10km for all killed in action and those who were seriously injured. 988 soldiers=9880m rounded up to 10km

and 24km for all the soldiers killed in action, seriously injured and wounded in action. 2470=24700m rounded to 24km.

Here is the soldiers' charity's website:
