Dorset Oosers Half Marathon · 29 March 2020

No parent expects to live longer than their child, but for many of the families we support, this is a reality. Julia's House, the Dorset & Wiltshire Children's Hospice charity provides frequent respite care for children and support for their families at home, in the community and at our hospice.

Story

The long awaited sequel to 'let's walk a triple marathon to London'... let's run a really hard half marathon!

We are taking on this challenge because we want to help families facing unimaginable heartbreak - the knowledge that their child may not live into adulthood. Julia’s House provides frequent, flexible care for children with life-limited or life-threatening conditions to give their parents a much-needed break. Amazingly, Julia’s House has to raise 95 per cent of the money it needs each year to run this vital service which is why we have chosen to support them. Your kind sponsorship will make a life-changing difference to these families.

The race is a cross country track race through Dorset countryside. It contains 6.5 hills, 500m of elevation, 3.5 stiles and 1 fords*. The full marathon is worth 2 UTMB points (whatever they are). The race is also slightly longer than a normal half, technically making it an ultra half marathon.

Looking at times it seems like 2.5 hours would be a very good time (and that's based on running nerds times). We are going to die.

If we hit £300 we will run in our full kits from the hit 1996 movie Space Jam. £30000 and we will Naruto Run the whole thing.
