It took some doing but it’s here. Below is our running schedule for the 21st of December and we hope some of you can make it.

Myself and Lee Nyland will attempt to run 12 different north east parkruns in one day. That’s 60km or 37.2822715 miles to be exact! We will be joined on the day by my Brother Mick Nattrass and Val Baxter, who will both run as much as they can and to support us. We will be taking on this challenge to support Tiny Lives. They’re a local charity who support premature and sick new-born babies. Please support our challenge and Tiny Lives by making a small donation here: http://www.justgiving.com/the12parkrunsofchristmas

Unfortunately there were parkruns we just had to miss out. This was purely because of time, roads and potential traffic on the day. It does however, throw another future challenge up in the air. All 15 north-east parkruns in one day? I’ll shut up now, haha!

We hope to see some of you on the 21st of December,
