Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

We are a team of 30 British soldiers based at Blandford Camp in Dorset, and intend to run in a charity event from Blandford Camp in Dorset to Plymouth Hoe in Devon.  This is a distance of over 150 miles that we plan to run in less than 30 hours.  The route, for the majority of the event will be cross country, across the South West Coastal Path; and will start at 0800 on 20 June 2008, and finish at 1400 on 21 June 2008.

The event will be in the form of a relay, with the run being split down into roughly 10 mile legs.  The team itself will all complete the first 10 mile leg from Blandford Camp to Bere Regis in Dorset.  Once the first leg has been completed the team will then be split into pairs of runners, with the first pair having to then run a further 10 miles straight after the first leg.  The remaining pairs will then be driven to their next leg start point to await the previous pair of runners.  Each pair will run at least 3 legs each; culminating in the final leg, where the full 30 strong team will complete together, to finish in Plymouth Hoe.  The route is over very undulating ground and I am sure you will agree that this event will prove to be a true test of mental and physical strength.
