As part of ‘My Mammoth Year’ I will be completing the Manchester 10K Rough Runner on 16th June. Rough Runner is an obstacle course inspired by TV game shows like Gladiators, Total Wipeout and Ninja Warrior. Luckily I won’t be completing this challenge alone. Some of my friends and colleagues are crazy enough to join me.
Chester Zoo Rough Runner Team:
Katie Morrison aka Matriarch
Owen Luke aka Claymore
Phil Blackburn aka Ranger
Laura Davies aka Wildling
Becky Le Brocq aka Phoenix
Leah Williams aka Siren
John O’Hanlon aka Vortex
Becky Mogey aka Aurora
Clare Raymond aka Valkyrie
Michelle Harrickie aka Salsero
Laura Green aka Gallus
We will be completing Rough Runner to support Chester Zoo’s Never Forget campaign. The campaign aims to raise funding to support research into the elephant endotheliotropic herpes virus (EEHV). EEHV typically strikes young Asian elephants during the weaning phase and can be fatal. It affects both wild and zoo elephant populations. Tragically, Chester zoo has lost elephant calves to this deadly virus. Lots is still unknown about EEHV and how to treat it, so more research is vitally important.
