Outdoor Activities

Dear Mr and Mrs Dog Walker, Thank you for allowing your lovely dog to join in my training run this week. I felt it very beneficial to have the extra weight, as your beloved fur ball jumped up to my hips and sunk her teeth into my jacket, biting down as I tried to force her off, whilst you just watched.

The standard entry for this year’s Kilomathon race from Derby to Nottingham is £45 equal to a whopping £2.76 mile. Although promoted as a London Marathon training race to reduce the fee to £5 you need to fund raise £260, on top of the £1,500 plus many runners are raising to run London. With the popularity of the general public participating in challenging sporting events and the reduction of people giving to charities is this the start of companies seeing runners as an easy target for raising money through sponsorship and increased entry fees.
