Story

Anne McQuitty has set herself another challenge! After completing 'Run 60 for 60' in 2015 for which she ran sixty 10ks in her 60th year and raised an amazing £1800 for charity, she is now challenging herself to a 'Run 70 for 70' challenge in her 70th year!

Anne's newest challenge is to run 70 miles EVERY MONTH throughout her 70th year! That is a total of 840 miles in the year! A keen runner already, this challenge will really test Anne's strength, stamina and perseverance.

The challenge will begin on 1st March 2025 and end on her 71st birthday, 25th February 2026. Anne is planning to run a mix of long and short runs, from local runs to ultra marathons across the UK. She will be tracking her mileage and you can keep up with her progress on here.

Anne has chosen to raise money for a charity close to her heart, Cancer Research UK, and we are so grateful for any donation you can give.

Thank you for your support - let's keep Anne running!!
