Pace will be adjusted to align with needs of the group, but we aim for 10 minute / miles or 6 minutes/ km as an approximate pace.
Sikhs in the City Fundraising Challenge for Achilles International
On Sunday 6th December, Simon will be running an ultramarathon hosted at the Sikhs in the City clubhouse in Redbridge (an excellent inter-faith running and wellness group).
His intention is to complete as many 2km laps as possible from sunrise to sunset on the shortest day of the year!
As an incentive to help raise additional funds for new guide running tops, we have organised a Donation Raffle!
For every donation of £5, you are welcome to enter a raffle draw*
Guess how many laps Simon will be able to complete at the Dawn to Dusk Ultra!
Leave a comment with your donation stating how many laps you think he can run.
The closest guesses will be entered into a draw for running apparel prizes supplied by ON
*(£5 - 1 guess, £10 - 2 guesses etc)
