Run with Phillips in the first Basingstoke Half Marathon
If you are looking for a New Year challenge this could be just the thing! The Basingstoke Half Marathon is a great way to get fit, shed those pounds, have some fun and raise money for fantastic local causes.
What: the very first Basingstoke Half Marathon, organised by Destination Basingstoke and sponsored by Shire Pharmaceuticals. www.destinationbasingstoke.co.uk
Where: from the War Memorial Park, Basingstoke, heading across some legendary hills near Cliddesden and Farleigh Wallop, through beautiful countryside and quaint villages then back to the War Memorial Park.
When: Sunday 2ndOctober at 11.00
Who: Could this be you? There'll be 1,500 runners, including a Phillips' team of 50, made up of members of staff, family, friends and some willing clients!
Our good causes: We are asking our runners to raise money for two very worthwhile charities:
The Rainbow Centre is the charity that our Phillips' team will be mainly supporting. This charity supports children with cerebral palsy in the South of England and adults with motor disabilities. www.rainbowcentre.org
St. Michael's Hospice is the nominated charity for the event and will receive a £2 donation from each entry fee. They are also hoping to raise sponsorship money from runners which will go towards making the lives of local people with a life-limiting illness just that little bit easier. www.stmichaelshospice.org.uk
How do I get involved? Contact Pam Whittle on 01256 854642 for full details or email to see whether we can include you, at our expense, in our team.
If our team is full, it costs just £20 to enter individually. Visit www.destinationbasingstoke.co.uk for more details.
