Event: SpecialEffect VIRTUAL London 10K, on 5 July 2020
The London 10K has been the central challenge event of the SpecialEffect calendar for over a decade. At the start of 2020, we were hoping to gather our biggest team EVER to hit the streets of London. With the current situation, we're going virtual!

Story

I'm not much of a runner by any stretch of the imagination, in fact I've not been out at all in 2020, but I'll be running on Sunday 5th July for SpecialEffect in their Virtual 10K.

I'll be doing circuits of the local playing fields, where a circuit is around 1.25K, so I just have to do eight of them, sounds simple when you say it like that....  

Edit: Since the weather has been bad, I'm avoiding the playing fields and will be doing circuits round Mountsandel and past the hospital.

The British 10K is SpecialEffect's longest standing fundraising event, and back in the day a hard core of games industry professionals made something of a name for themselves by completing the race dressed as their favourite video games characters - a tradition that has continued to this day!This year, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic social distancing measures, SpecialEffect have taken this event virtual! We'll be setting off at 9am on Sunday 5th July, on our own local routes with a post-race online meet-up. SpecialEffect are continuing to offer assessments, equipment loans and advice during the Covid-19 lockdown and appreciate your support more than ever!
