If anyone missed the 5km Race for Life runs in the summer, or doing one of the runs gave them the running bug, they should enter the Tree-athlon.
There are two runs - one is in Battersea Park and for northerners, it's in Cannock Chase Forest, Birmingham
From the messages I've had from them there will be a number of activities during the day for non runners, especially kids. So please register (I'm doing the run! I managed to run 4km last night for the first time without a stop, so with 4 weeks to go, I think I'll be OK!) and do the run.. it's worth it and it's not far. Walk at a reasonable pace and it will take under an hour and you'll still be raising money for a good cause - planting trees in places that need them! After all, trees provide life.
Start date: Sat Sep 23, 2006 00:00 AM

Well, I've got the T-shirt, set up the sponsorship page... just need to make sure I can run 5km in time! Not doing too well so far - only managed 3.5km on Monday and I was exhausted. Something tells me I'll be walking for a while part way through. It's the thought that counts though and the money of course! (Not the time it takes)
