A busy year of running and cycling
This year, as well as partaking in various events, we have each challenged ourselves to run and cycle 2020 miles! Some of our challenges are way out of our comfort zone - and there will be more added as the year progresses!
As usual, we're attempting to raise money to find a cure for Motor Neurone Disease and Alzheimer's Disease.
Cambridge Half Marathon 2020
The first event of the year, so we'll be nowhere near fit enough !!!
Oundle 20-mile road race 2020
This is Christine's last long run before the spring marathons - an undulating local run around rural Northamptonshire.
May the Fourth Star Wars Half Marathon 2020
Christine and Mike will run this tough course across the Longmynd Hills for the sixth time. COMPLETED VIRTUALLY i.e. in the slightly less hilly Northamptonshire ...
P24: The Longest Day Challenge
In the absence of Endure 24 this year, Christine has found another 24-hour challenge so she can see the sunrise at least once! 1 mile, on the hour, every hour, for 24 hours ... starting at 8am on Sat 20th June. The midnight mile will be fancy dress ... so if you're in Thrapston, look out for a stray chicken in the dark hours of the night!
