HI all,
I'm looking for ideas for events to do next year as part of a fundraising series. My plan is to try to do 12 different types of event throughout the year. A mix of running, cycling, Duathlon and maybe even a short tri.
I already have a Marathon booked for April, a 10K for May and a 100km cycle ride for June. what i now need are events for the rest of the year. Different distances etc. If possible in or around the SE as i live in London and have 4 kids so cant always travel away for the weekend.
Lets get creative and see what I can do?
Oh yeah, just for Info i am raising money for the National Autistic Society.
thanks
CP

October is Beachy Head Marathon month it's very different to a road mara being all off-road and (a little bit) hilly so would count as a different tye of event I think - very sociable and a lovely day out
Road marathon - booked
Off road marathon - beachy head or belvoir challenge
Duathlon
Triathlon
Aquathlon
Tough guy
Half marathon
Ultra marathon - fairlands valley challenge 50km
10km - booked
100km cycle ride - booked
100 mile cycle ride - Norwich has one
10 miler
There's 12
yes the plan is 1 a month.
some interesting suggestions there.
Hi there,
How about entering a backward running race. This year there is the London backward running champs is in July (in crystal palace park) and the UK Champs in manchester in august. more info at www.reverserunning.com
the dates and venues should be about the same for 2012.
and another running idea is the maldon mud race in essex or the tything barn bare if you dare 5km in wales. you did say creative didn't you?
Good luck for your challenge. all the best
You can enter Beachy as a walker or jogger, you don't have to run.
There used to be an assault course in Ashdown forest that was fun - did it when I was much younger.
What about orienteering - that's great fun. http://www.dfok.co.uk/content/events/NorthWestKentSeries2011.pdf
There are event near Brighton as well.
How about track and field events?
S.O.D. Sussex Obstacle Dash
Edinburgh marathon have the hairy haggis relay or something closer to home, Luton marathon.
I think Reading half has a relay too.
