Hello
I'm Gary
And I'm an Aberdeen fan
We're all missing going to the Fitba so starting on Sunday 20th December I will be going on some Away Days of my own, aiming to raise some money for a charity that is close to the hearts of many Dons fans.
I will travel from my home in Elgin, Moray to wherever Aberdeen are playing, run a 10k during the first half, rest during half time, then run the same 10k during the second half.
*Covid-19 disclaimer - I am travelling to these venues alone, without stopping and will be taking my own food from home so will not come into contact with any individuals from different Tiers*
***UPDATE***
19th December - following stricter guidance from the Scottish Government I’ll not be travelling and instead will do the first few runs around Stadiums in Moray
I hope to do this across 11 away venues in Scotland, I will then end by doing a half marathon starting and ending at Pittodrie on our last home game of the season.
My 'Double 10k' schedule so far:
20th Dec - Killie (running from Elgin City instead)
23rd Dec - Motherwell (running from Lossiemouth FC instead)
16th Jan - Ross County (running from Forres Mechanics instead)
27th Jan - St Johnstone (running from Buckie Thistle instead)
30th Jan - Livingston (running from Rothes FC instead)
6th Feb - Hibs (running from Keith FC instead)
17th Feb - Celtic (running from Elgin Thistle instead)
20th Mar - Dundee Utd (running from Elgin City instead)
10th Apr - St Johnstone (running from Buckie Thistle instead)
1st May - Livingston (running from Lossiemouth FC instead)
15th May - The Rangers (running from Elgin City instead)
All monies raised will go to the Aberdeen FC Community Trust
