RUN TO HELP RURAL MENTAL HEALTH
Five Nations challenge underway

Running throughout all of January, the Five Nations challenge is raising funds and awareness for rural mental health.

 

Taking part in the #Run1000 challenge are teams representing England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Rest of the World, in a competition to run at least 1000 miles during the month.

 

The route of the first recorded run of the year for Team England

 

#Run1000, is calling on people to sign up to be part of one of the five teams. The competition will see each team run 1000 miles with the nation that reaches the milestone first, announced the winner. A team captain will lead each nation, and a private Strava group will record the collective running distance. It’s not about the speed or the distance, say the organisers, it’s about the taking part no matter how little the distance is.

 

To take part all you have to do is make a £20 donation on the page and then join the battle!

 

Duncan Murray-Clarke, owner of TurfPro, is taking part in the challenge, alongside his wife Emma Craigie (see here) and says there's already quite a bit of rivalry in his household with both England and Scotland represented!

 

Duncan said, "It is a purely charitable endeavour with no commercial gains - even though some businesses are supporting online. There has been an amazing uptake amongst farming community, with about 600+ joining in so far."
