Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. On Saturday 13th August, runners from Monkstown Spartans AC will take on 24, 5k runs in 24 hours in aid of PIPS. The majority of these will be run on Parkrun routes and will take us from Enniskillen to the Valley via Omagh, Cookstown, Dungannon, Armagh, Lisburn and Belfast to name just a few. We currently have 12 members committed to running all 24 which will equate to 120km (75 miles) each!! Others from the club will be joining us for some of the runs and helping out with driving duties and ensuring everyone is fed and watered. Anyone for a midnight kebab?

We will be starting our first 5k in Enniskillen at 8:15 on Saturday morning and finishing 24 hours later at Belfast Waterworks. Sounds like great craic, right?

The 12 ‘elite’ athletes who will be taking part are; Julie Marshall, Jennifer Kelso, Heatherann Connor, Catie Bevington, Rodney Farrelly, Tommy Gray, Johnny McKeown, Brian Gepp, Jock Mewha, Kevin Moseley, Geoff McFarland and Jim Young. Others who will be joining us, and may yet be persuaded to do them all, include Graham Beattie, Adrian Boyd, Peter Lock, Sharon Cochrane, Robert Millar, Pauline Millar, Serena Perry, Andy McCrea, Alan French, Anne Magee, Alison McGlynn, Nick Haggan and Una McNeill. No doubt we will have other Spartans getting involved too.
