**PLEASE NOTE DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED**
The COPS 30 miler is a 30 mile, load-bearing yomp across rugged Northumberland countryside, with participants running alongside Royal Marines commandos. he aim of the event is to closely replicate the famous 30 mile yomp across Dartmoor that Royal Marines recruits must complete as the final commando test at the end of their training.
I've made some new friends whilst helping each other through the pain and I'm already tempted to go back next year!
As the only load-bearing event of its kind where participants run alongside serving Royal Marines, the COPS 30 miler is as close as it gets to the real thing and aims to raise significant funds for the Care of Police Survivors charity (COPS), along with the Royal Marines Charity.
When you get to the finish line it's all worth it, you're full of genuine pride coupled with some definite relief.
