Story
Greensand Way - Story 1 in 2 people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime! Cancer is relentless. Every one of us has and will be affected directly or indirectly by it. Recently our running community has had some close friends that have been affected by cancer. To show our love and support of them, Ben Notley came up with the idea of a fundraising event for a cancer charity. Of course it involved running! And the challenge is to run the entire length of the Greensand Way, a local and well loved trail, that runs through the heart of the Surrey Hills. In fact we would like the whole local running community to get involved. We would love for runners to meet us along the route and run as much or as little as they would like, whether it be 5km or 50 miles. You can just join us on the run for the banter, or attempt to run your longest distance, use it as a training run, try a night run with company, run in celebration of a loved one that won the battle against cancer, or in memory of a loved one that sadly lost the battle. All we ask is that you make a donation to the charity. If you don’t want to run but would like to be part of the event then we would love for you to cheer us along on route, at the finish line or perhaps help at a crew stop for refreshments. Please message us if you would like to take part or get involved in any way. Please note that this is a fun run. If you chose to take part it would be at your own risk. We will have a gpx of the route, have done a recce and there will be designated crew points. The plan though is to run together - it will not be a race. To support us and raise funds for the Cancer Research UK You can sponsor us to help us raise funds to beat cancer; You can sponsor us in the name of a loved one that has survived cancer or whom sadly lost the battle and we can add their name to our running shirt; You can join us for a section of the trail as we run it whether it is 5km or 50 miles and make a donation to the charity.
