Story

The Rebel: 

AP is currently teaching sport at King's College School alongside Director of Sport, Richard Robert Jones. Richard enjoys the odd run; last year he ran 20 half and 14 full marathons. He may have planted the seed but it wasn't until AP's dad said, "Don't do it!", that his mind was made up.

The Nutter:

Fokas thought it sounded like fun!?!?

The Gambler:

During an extended visit to the pub, Fokas finagled a wager with a careless Jake that he could run a marathon in the same week

Jake lost... and joined the team

The Charity:

More importantly, we have decided to tackle the ultramarathon in support of this fantastic charity. Saracens Sport Foundation provides an invaluable service to communities using sport as a tool to positively impact people's lives and well-being. Their role was recognised personally by AP during his time at Middlesex University, where he witnessed the supporting role that professional staff provided to local schools. Their impact further extends to over 70,000 other individuals. In particular, they have formed programmes that work alongside autistic and disability sports. 

Please help us reach our goal in support of the Saracens Sport Foundation.
