Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi, My name is Chris Sellars and i will be doing the 17k Commando Challenge. Im rasing money for the Royal Marine charity trust. it means a lot to me as i am hoping to join in the summer 2013.

 

In 2011 over 60% of all Royal Marines were on duty in the hostile environment of Afghanistan. As a result the 'Trust' needs to raise sufficient funds to put towards the rehabilitation of injured / wounded Royal Marines who have returned from that theatre of war - or are likely to in any future deployments.

 

WHAT IS THE CHALLENGE? The 17k ENDURANCE Challenge starts and finishes at the Commando Training Centre and will be as authentic as the one currently undertaken by the Royal Marines themselves. Although run as one Challenge - the course has 3 distinct phases, but is run as one course:

• PHASE I = From the Start Line at CTCRM all runners, Individuals, Pairs or Teams, advance to the ENDURANCE Course on Woodbury Common - a distance of approx 4 miles.
• PHASE II = Tackle the cross country part of the ENDURANCE course with its tunnels, Peters Pool, Crocodile Pit and scary Sheep Dip - a distance of approx 3 miles
• PHASE III = The transition back to the finish line at CTCRM. The first part of the run will be off the 'Common' and onto the lanes and roads of Devon - a distance of 4 miles
