Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2011 over 60% of all Royal Marines were on duty in the hostile environment of Afghanistan.   As a result the 'Trust' needs to raise sufficient funds to put towards the rehabilitation of injured / wounded Royal Marines who have returned from that theatre of war - or are likely to in any future deployments. 

The Royal Marines Commando Challenge has been running annually since 1990 and has attracted almost 100,000 runners in that time and raised in excess of £2M for local and national good causes and charities.

The Commando Training Centre Royal Marines operates 3 challenges every year, 4k, 10k and the 17k Endurance Challenge being the most difficult to complete.

On 15 June 2013 I intend to complete the 17k course in as quick a time as possible.

The 17k ENDURANCE Challenge starts and finishes at the Commando Training Centre (Lympstone, Devon) and will be as authentic as the one currently undertaken by the Royal Marines themselves.  Although run as one Challenge - the course has 3 distinct phases, but is run as one course:

PHASE I   =   From the Start Line at CTCRM I will advance to the ENDURANCE Course on Woodbury Common - a distance of approx 4 miles. 

PHASE II   =   Tackle the cross country part of the ENDURANCE course with its tunnels, Peters Pool, Crocodile Pit and scary Sheep Dip - a distance of approx 3 miles

PHASE III   =   The transition back (painful stagger) to the finish line at CTCRM.  The first part of the run will be off the 'Common' and onto the lanes and roads of Devon - a distance of 4 miles 

To make things even more difficult the full course will be run in combat boots.

All support is greatly appreciated
