GO-BEYOND 50 MILE ULTRA MARATHON FOR LOCAL CHARITY
Matt Gillespie plans to run 50 Miles for The Travers Foundation Gretton's Matt Gillespie likes to run. In fact, he likes to run so much he completed a 35 mile Ultra Marathon in June 2014 to raise funds for sports equipment for Gretton Primary School.
But it seems 35 miles is nothing to him - because he's decided to run a 50 mile go-beyond-Ultra Marathon!
This time he's raising funds for Northamptonshire-based charity The Travers Foundation.
The Travers Foundation helps 13 to 30 year olds living in Northamptonshire, Rutland or Leicestershire improve their skills in sports, the creative arts and the performing arts.
Matt's 50 mile run is taking place on Saturday 7th February, and takes a route along the Thames from Oxford to Henley. There is an 11 hour time limit, but Matt hopes to complete the mammoth course in around 7 hours.
Matt has set up a Just Giving page for donations - http://t4sey.com/163stwd
