From Friday 15th May, Members from Hem Heath Cricket Club will take up a 10-day challenge of running the equivalent of a marathon or more between the stumps.

Each day, every participant will don their Whites, Pad-up and run a minimum of 200 runs to bring up their Double-ton.

We will also be looking to break the run-scoring records of some local cricketers like Kim Barnett (15,000 runs) and also some legends of the game like W.G. Grace (54,000), so additional running will be encouraged to hit our run scoring targets, whether it’s between the stumps or in the park or on the pavements. (Don’t worry you won’t need your pads for that!!! unless you want to!!)

Look out for our daily updates and progress on our Twitter page.

A JustGiving page has been set up, so we can accept donations from members, friends, family, co-workers, etc. This is all going towards a great cause, so please do and donate what you can!!
