125 race miles in 12.5 months, 26 September 2019
To celebrate 125 years of the National Trust, we're aiming to raise £125,000 to support a number of critical appeals across our English Riviera properties; Greenway, Coleton Fishacre, Bradley Manor and Compton Castle. And we need your help.

Story

To celebrate 125 years of the National Trust, I'm aiming to raise £1,250 to support the restoration of Agatha Christie's summerhouse and flowerbeds at Greenway. I really hope the money I raise through running will help this project to provide people with hours of enjoyment in the location Agatha Christie described as 'The loveliest place in the world'.

The plan was to run just over 125 miles in around 12.5 months as I complete 10 half marathons from Autumn 2019 to Autumn 2020. Due to event cancellations I now plan to complete my challenge by the end of 2020. The events will be: 

  • 22nd September 2019 - Great East Run
  • 6th October 2019 - Colchester Stampede
  • 10th November 2019 - Richmond Park Half Marathon
  • 15th March 2020 - Bath Half Marathon
  • 19th April 2020 - Goodwood Half Marathon ('Virtual race')
  • 17th May 2020 - Crystal Palace Half Marathon ('Virtual race')
  • 28th June 2020 - Wimbledon Common Half Marathon ('Virtual race')
  • 19th October 2020 -  Richmond Park Half Marathon ('Virtual race')
  • 6th December 2020 - Goodwood Half Marathon
  • 20th December 2020 - On London Half Marathon ('Virtual race')

I will post updates on here after each race - wish me luck!
