Camp Bastion Marathon - Event update

Up & Running have been keeping up the support of events and charities again but this time a little further afield.  South Central Asia!! 

We supported the Camp Bastion Marathon organised by Extreme Energy .  The event attracted 411 runners, rasied over £12,000 for the charities, and was a huge success. It was apparently mentioned in dispatches from the theatre to the UK, which is remarkable due to the communications problems and operational security, but word has got out of its success.  

Here is a photo of some of the racers (slippery participants)

and a video from British Forces News (You Tube). 

We are proud to sponsor Extreme Energy and the participants of their events.  People who are doing a tough job in a tough climate, and are living proof that the need to run is a very strong motivator what ever the environment.
