HELP ME MAKE THE BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIPS
…nce. I believe the founding i would receive would help me with the cost of running clothing and travel costs for the bigger competitions. I am also looking to compete abroad at some point, so this would really help and benefit my running career and to see how far i can go in the future. The aim this year is to make the British Championships and with this i would love to inspire the younger generation. As i said earlier the sport can be really toug…

Claire and Jenny’s OtillO Adventure – Swimrun World Championships
…nds, OtillO Sweden is now the SwimRun World Championship race. It involves running and swimming over multiple stages, but more akin to an adventure race than an aquathlon, with races typically covering 30 – 70km of running and 5 – 10km of swimming, broken down into anywhere between 20 and 60 separate stages. Athletes must either carry or wear all their kit both on land and in water. We both loved the self-sufficiency and adventure aspect of these…

In 2013, I competed in local triathlons but ended up injuring my calf where I struggled for 7 months on and off so I…

…d 5,000 metres. Despite being terrified, having never properly competed in running since school days (the Paris Marathon didn’t count as I was only running it for me), I accepted and am so pleased I did. It was a truly wonderful experience. I continued training with my coach and in 2015 was asked to compete in the half marathon at the Island Games in Jersey. This was the first time I experienced an ‘away’ Island Games and realised how important su…

American Football #BackTheBirds
…portunity to play football. The bottom line is. . . the financial costs of running an effective American football programme here in the UK now outstrip the money we are able to raise by annual fees – unless we nearly trebled the current fee, which we just can’t do as we feel that players will start to leave the sport if it becomes too expensive to play. We have tried to obtain sponsorship from businesses in the UK, but as American football is a mi…
