Story
This Summer, 9th – 10th June, a team of Pobl employees will take on the UK’s longest point to point non-stop relay foot run from Twickenham to Cardiff… The Wolfpack run!
Joining our Pobl people, a student from South Wales University and a resident form Solas' Dyfrig House.
The route will take them along rivers and canals, through forests and towns, across fields and over bridges including the spectacular Severn Crossing.
The terrain varies from tarmac to mud, gravel to long grass, and if that wasn’t enough, runners have to navigate their way through 23 checkpoints before running into Cardiff Central, collectively breaking checkpoint 24 as a team, AKA the finish line.
