Event: TRIBE Relay Across Scotland 2022, from 24 June 2022 to 25 June 2022
Taking place over Summer Solstice, we will relay through the day into the night. We will push the limits of human endurance and run 220km, in teams of 4 or 8, in 24 hours to fight modern slavery.

Story

Our team of 8 runners is taking part in the TRIBE relay across Scotland in June.

We will be covering a total of 218km from the west coast to east coast of Scotland, covering all sorts of terrain and a total of 2,423m of ascent in around 24 hours as a non-stop relay. That is a long way and a lot of going up hills. None of us has done any form of Ultra relay running like this before, so it is a step into the unknown and a big challenge for all of us. It's also Scotland, so even though it's June it will probably be wet, cold, windy and full of midgies. And some of us have to run through Scottish towns on a Friday night, so there is some danger money value there too.

This is our team, we don't all have our own individual pages, so if you want to donate to someone without their own page, just pick one of the others and put a comment to say who it is for. The money all goes to the same great cause:

1. Nipper (Helensburgh to Balloch; South Queensferry to Edinburgh)

2. Euan (Balloch to Blanefield; Edinburgh to Duddingston)

3. Robbie (Blanefield to Strathblane; Duddingston to Prestonpans)

4. Dave (Strathblane to Kirkintilloch; Prestonpans to Longniddry)

5. John (Kirkintilloch to Banknock; Longniddry to Gullane)

6. Rob (Banknock to Falkirk; Gullane to North Berwick)

7. Drew (Falkirk to Linlithgow; North Berwick to East Linton)

8. Bert (Linlithgow to South Queensferry; East Linton to Dunbar)

Please support our team, which will in turn be supporting TRIBE in their work against people trafficking and modern slavery. You just have to look at some of the stories coming out of Ukraine to see how people are trying to take advantage of desperate refugees, so the support here will make a big difference. More information is below.

TRIBE Freedom Foundation is on a mission to fight modern slavery and end human trafficking. They work by raising awareness of trafficking, supporting survivors and enabling frontline projects to prevent modern slavery. They empower communities to create an impact.

There are an estimated 40.3 million victims of slavery globally and 136,000 people living in slavery in the UK. That's more than two victims for every thousand people in the country. This needs to stop.
