FW: Endurance Life Real Relay: Isle of Man 09/06/12

Dear all

This Saturday (9th June) I will be running in the Endurance Life Real Relay, an exciting attempt to follow the entire route of the official Olympic Torch around Britain in one continuous non-stop journey, running every step of the way (apart from the sections over water!)  

The relay started from Land's End at midnight on Monday 28th May, ten days behind the official Olympic Torch, and will involve hundreds of runners from across the British Isles running through the day and night on an 8,000 mile mission to reach London in time for the Olympic Games opening ceremony.  More details can be found at http://www.endurancelife.com/realrelay/.

My leg starts at Ronaldsway airport at 11.45am on Saturday where I will pick up the baton.  I will be running to Douglas where I hand over to the next runner, who will be running to Laxey.  There are four legs on the island, finishing back at Ronaldsway on Saturday afternoon before flying to Belfast.

I am planning to run as Banana Man and the 2nd leg runner, Nigel Maddox, has a Captain America costume to keep the superhero theme going!  Last time I checked there were still 2 legs that hadn't been taken and, if you're interested in taking part, you can sign up on the website.

Thanks
Ed
