It has taken some time to carefully check all the donations and sponsorship contributions in support of the Great Racecourse Relay which finished 2 weeks ago. I am very pleased to say that we raised a combined total of £1690.60. Thank you all.
 
Once again I must thank Kevin Wheeler for the original idea, his organisation, the amazing runners as well as all the others who generously donated their time and support to make it a success.
 
Also a big thank you to the 18 sponsors. Please support them in any way you can.

The Cause

The aim is to raise money solely for Haverfordwest Racecourse. This is a rare community amenity space run by a local committee.
The racecourse boasts football pitches, Haverfordwest cricket club, dog walking, wildlife areas and our local Parkrun. It is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a week, and recently put out a call for £30,000 funding for building work.
The racecourse also hosts Haverfordwest Parkrun which is a free weekly timed run; it attracts 150+ runners every Saturday morning throughout the year. This organisation has organised nearly 300 weekly runs open to all abilities.
To support this community open access amenity, we are organising a free-to-enter running event in a unique and challenging format.
 

The Relay

This challenge is to have one baton passed non-stop between local runners for one whole day in October. In that 24 hour period, the baton will travel over 240Km (148 miles). Each runner will bear the baton along the 5 kilometre Parkrun course and pass it to the next person in the list. Success is by no means certain. It will need determination, trust and coordination. Runners will face whatever conditions the weather can throw at them, by night and by day.

Congratulations Kevin

Kevin Wheeler’s fundraising challenge over this half-term

At the end of Saturday’s official Parkrun Kevin completed twenty-five identical runs of 5km every 5 hours over 6 days, a distance of 125km giving him only about 3½ hours between runs to sleep..

His chosen charities, to benefit from his amazing achievement, are the Haverfordwest Racecourse (Public Park) Trust and the Wales Air Ambulance Charity.

We are very grateful to Kevin for such generosity in his time and energy spent in support of two worthy causes.

Kevin Wheeler’s Half Term Challenge

Kevin Wheeler has set himself a fundraising challenge over the next half-term.

It is a tough target. 125km overall, starting 09:00 Monday 25th October from the start line of Haverfordwest Parkrun. It is just over 77 miles, and success is by no means certain. 25 consecutive runs at all different hours.
 
Indeed, health and fitness are no means certain, and we have a fantastic free-to-use resource in the Haverfordwest Racecourse. If you use this great open space, why not join me for a run? I will be aiming for about 30 minutes and will welcome any support runners at any time.

Kevin is sharing his fundraising with the Wales Air Ambulance Charity which can be found at:  https://www.walesairambulance.com/donatewaa
