Race day is under 2 weeks away and still so much more running to fit in. Irony is I'm shortly at a point when I should be taking it easy in prep for the big day, but feeling more than a little under cooked. As always many thanks for your support.

On Friday 27 Feb at the Riser, 8.00pm we will be giving out nice branded t shirts to the Flyers - 13 of us running for the cause. Do join us if you can and make yourselves known. Cheers!

Quick update: but thank you so much to all of you who have supported me, many of whom I don't know or have chosen to be anonymous. It is hugely appreciated and good to know that this cause is important to so many of you.

Training is going ok, with a bit of Crossfit thrown in to support the running. Planning for 8 miles this week. Weather has been shocking but got to get out there!

Thanks again Simon

Hi

Last year I ran the Fun Run to raise campaign money in the fight to save Castle Fields from development.

In September 2025 Berkhamsted Castle Trust bought the fields with the help of a generous, interest free £500k loan. Under their ownership, the fences and gates erected to define building plots for auction that restricted access and blighted this beautiful open land were removed. This was a great victory, however we are only halfway on our journey as critically the loan needs to be repaid.

This year I'm running again, upping the challenge by taking on the Half Marathon. With your help we can make a contribution towards saving these fields from development for the people of Berkhamsted today and for future generations.

Thank you!
