Last year Rob, Billo and I raised £1620 running in the Man v Horse Marathon as a relay team thanks to your amazing generosity. This year we are going to do it again, but with a slightly different team configuration in the hope that we can raise even more for the British Heart Foundation. My Brother James is going to join Rob and Billo in the relay team and I (suspect stupidly) am going to try and run the event on my own.

 

A bit about the race:

 

The Man V Horse Marathon is a race between humans and horses over the Cambrian Mountains- it starts in the Llanwrtyd Wells Town Square and is run over a 22 mile course (run by individuals or relay teams of three) using a mixture of farm tracks, footpaths, forestry roads and open moorland. There are a few short distances over tarmac and t is very hilly with a total ascent of 3000ft.

 

It took 25 years for the first man to beat a horse…! In our case we will just be happy to finish!

A bit about the British Heart Foundation:

 

Heart and Circulatory Disease is responsible for the death of almost 40% of the population; it is the UK’s biggest killer and doesn’t discriminate, no matter how old or young you are it affects us all.

 

The British Heart Foundation is the UK’s leading heart charity and every day they save lives, through pioneering research, providing vital information to help people reduce their own heart health risks, campaigning for change and supporting and caring for heart patients.

 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us. The British Heart Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
