Runners Wanted for Sunday 24th June There will be a “Prayer Marathon Relay” event in the area on the afternoon before the Olympic Torch passes through Wakefield and Castleford. Kate Penrose hopes with others to run the 25+ miles from Ossett to Normanton with special prayer events taking place at Ossett, Sandal Castle and Normanton.
Kate is looking for support on this run on a relay basis from:
1) Church members who already run who could support her by running a section with her (e.g 3-5 miles)
2) Others in good health and normal general fitness who would like to undertake a 6 week programme progressing from walking to running and who could then aim to join her for sections of 1-2 miles. She would be prepared to encourage and assist these volunteers and, if practical, arrange joint sessions to go out together with Kate and other beginners walking/jogging.
Please could you contact Kate urgently (especially if you want to do the 6 week programme) with your full contact details:
