Hello gentle folk from near and far,
The time has come for the Bi-Annual Gumboots UK Physical Fundraiser.
In 2007, we scaled the UKs 3 peaks (in 24hours). There were sleepless nights, unforgiving climbs and a dislocated little finger, pointing at right angles.
In 2009, it was John O'Groats to Lands end, comprising of gruelling 100+ mile days, lycra-coated bum cheeks of steel and a broken hip after a nasty fall on a slippery cattle grid.
In 2011, On September 24th prepare yourself for the ultimate BRIGHTON BIATHALON. This year we are emphasising community spirit and mass participation as opposed to resilience and pain (two themes which predominated during the previous fundraisers.)
The event will take place between the beach opposite 'The View' pub in West Hove (100m west of King Alfreds leisue centre), and the Hove Angel statue. It will basically consist of a 3-4 mile run around the Angel followed by a sea swim around the buoy (500-800m). You can enter as a tag team duo- one runner, one swimmer or do both legs yourself. Walkers and paddlers are encouraged so please join in even if you prefer to do a mini version. We will then enjoy burgers on the beach (veggie option available) and drinks at The View Pub. If 20 people enter and get £10 sponsorship, that's £200... but the more the merrier. There will be a mystery prize for the winners.
The event will start at 3pm outside The View Pub. If you can't make it but feel like sponsoring the event, please do.
Warm wishes
Arthur and crew
