More»  More » LONDON MARATHON 2012 Congratulations and well done to our runners in this year's marathon. 5 of our runners were able to run on the day the others were sadly recovering from injury. However that did not stop them all fund raising and we have raised appromiately £12,000. The times for our runners were Oliver 3.34, Sarah 4.36, Nick 4.56 who had also run the Brighton marathon the week before in a time of 5.04, Jez 5.06 and Ed 8.14. Ed was unwell the night before but decided to run and was doing well at half way but then struggled on to finished the race where pehaps others would have given up! - Thanks to all our runners and Jez has pledged to run again next year! More » More » More » British 10k London Run We have secured 6 places for this year's London 10K which takes place on Sunday 8th July. The minimum amount required to raise is £250. If you know of anyone who would be interested in one of these places or would like more information then please email msg@myositis.org.uk Team Muscle is being assembled for this run as a fund raiser for the charity. I’ve grabbed a place because this is the nearest I am going to get to the Olympic Games and savour the atmosphere a fortnight before the biggest sporting event in the world. I couldn’t get a ticket at all for the games but I can at least jog the London sites before the day. There are places in the Team if you wish to join me on this memorable occasion. The British 10K London Run is the UK's most prestigious and sought-after 10km road race which is staged on the world's greatest route through the heart of central London. 25,000 runners fill the streets of the nation's capital and get the unique chance to run past many of the country's greatest landmarks including Big Ben, The London Eye, St Paul's Cathedral, Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abbey. Abilities range from charity fundraisers and recreational runners right through to Olympic champions! The 2012 event is staged just 19 days before the start of the Olympic Games and the excitement and buzz within London at this time should make for a truly special occasion and the best British 10k London Run in its 12 year history. - Les Oakley More » |
