Would you go the distance for Epilepsy?
Places
available on 10km road run to raise funds for local charity
Chiswick
based charity, The Epilepsy Research Foundation, has guaranteed
places in the British 10K Road Race on 13th July 2003 for runners
willing to raise over £100 in sponsorship for epilepsy research.
The British 10K Road Race is a mass participant charity-based running
event following an attractive 6.2 mile route through the heart of
central London.
If
you were inspired by the Marathon but feel daunted by the distance,
why not contact the Epilepsy Research Foundation about guaranteed
race entry for the British Open 10K and get into training now! 10
kilometres – 6.2 miles – is a comfortable distance for most people
(with appropriate preparation) and even the most leisurely participant
could expect to cover the route in less than 2 hours. Entrants must
be at least 15 years old and able to complete the course within
2 hours.
The
Epilepsy Research Foundation, based in Chiswick, is the only charity
in the UK to raise money for independent scientific research into
epilepsy and its causes. It has granted over £1½ million
to research projects over the last 10 years. Epilepsy affects some
300,000 people in the UK, half of them children.
