**UPDATE** - following our successful completion of our ten marathon challenge I decided to continue with my running and am completing both Great North Run Solo challenges. The first is completing 40 runs in 79 days and the second is completing a virtual half marathon on Sunday 13th September. This will be my longest ever run and is a daunting prospect!

We have both taken on our own running challenges over the last year or so to fundraise for Brain Tumour Research in memory of our good friend and running inspiration Sharky. With the current situation in the UK making running any events together impossible we have had to “ get creative.” After realising we live 263 miles apart (or just a little over ten marathons) we decided this was too much of a coincidence not to do something with. The Aberdeen (well Udny) to Durham relay was born.......263 miles over 31 days. We will run 8.5 miles every day from 26th April 2020 for 31 days. On the first day we will do 4 miles each, from then on its 8.5 miles each on alternate days!
