Not the London Landmarks Half Marathon 29th March 2020

Carole was entered into the London Landmarks Half marathon with Jen, her flatmate Vic and Vic's Mum, the "It's a Family Affair" team. They were raising money for the Alzheimer's organisations.

Carole had been training hard, running 10km every other day whilst we'd been away in Spain. It was a huge disappointment, but unsurprising, when the event was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The race organisers came up with the idea of participants doing their own Local Landmark Challenge, to celebrate the training and fund raising that had gone on so far.  All money raised up to this point had already gone to the charities.  The "It's a Family Affair" team had raised over £1500 up to the cancellation.

Carole chose to do her Local Landmark Challenge by running from Levens Hall, around the area and ending at Arnside Pier - both well known local landmarks.  Jen did hers by running around the centre of Birmingham; think Carole's was more picturesque!



Got the T-shirt - Got to run now!
