Teams of four runners will each run a leg of the marathon with the so-called final "glory leg" coming in at 4.5 miles. The group have been holding special training nights to get everyone through the gruelling event.<br></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A range of other fund raising events will also be organised including a Six Nations extravaganza, golf day, coffee mornings and other social events.
