We are The Achy Breaky Bears a group of not so elite athletes and generally bad blokes and women from Northampton (plus other areas of the country now) who will be tackling a number of challenges that will push us to our limits !!!
The latest event the team will be taking on is the 2021 Summer Ran Run followed by the 2021 London Triathlon with Team Ramsey - Most of the team are below average swimmers and haven't rode a bicycle since childhood so this is going to be the most interesting challenge to date!!!
Other team members will also be running both half and full marathons this year while continuing to take on various Obstacle Course Races including a number of Tough Mudders yet again !!! This is gonna be a huge year of events and the team are hoping it will help them break the £42,000 mark !!!
Over the past few years we have been in training for various events around the UK and have been pushing ourselves to the limits as we have entered all of the UK Tough Mudder events, Pain & Suffering, Spartan Race, Mud Sweat and Beers, Chase the Yeti, Sole Destroyer, Toughest, Mud 7, Tough Guy, Ram Runs, Nuclear Races, Reaper Events, Pukka Races, Forest Warrior, Rat Race and anything else that we see that will cause us a lot of pain !!!
At times we train very hard for these events and some of our training includes swimming in frozen lakes, assault courses in the snow, training, running and exercising with gas masks on amongst other things so we are definitely earning the money that you donate !!!
We will be completing the courses to raise money for GOSH as the son of team captain Mark Pittam has been under their care over the past 8 years and Great Ormond Street are doing an amazing job so if people can dig as deep as possible that would be amazing even if its only £1 it all helps towards this great cause !!!
If you would like to join The Achy Breaky Bears on any of their adventures at all then pls just get in touch and ask !!!
