Participate in the Thames Path Challenge for Starfish

The Starfish Greathearts Foundation is inviting you to participate in the Thames Path Challenge! Taking place on the Saturday 13th September the challenge will see you walk, jog or run the 50km distance along the Thames Path trail.

Participate in the Thames Path

thames_raceThe Thames Path National Trail is unique, with its beautiful scenery, steeped in history. Setting out from Urban London the path winds through scenic villages and historic towns – it’s the only long distance path to follow a river for most of its length. The trail serves as a superb backdrop for a simply exceptional challenge, and in September 2014, you can take it on!

This challenging event is a test of stamina and determination, but with some training and great on-event support it is definitely achievable. Starfish will be cheering for you along the way and on completion of the challenge, you will be greeted by a complimentary BBQ, glass of fizz, finisher’s medal and t-shirt!

As part of the Starfish team, your help through your fundraising efforts will bring life, hope and opportunity to children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS in South Africa.

“The Thames Path Challenge was hands down one of the best days running (and let’s be honest, walking) I have ever done. You are all in it together. Every goal is equal. The aid stations are so well stocked it is hard to leave but the lure of achievement, the knowledge that you are doing something amazing for a brilliant cause pulls you back out to enjoy some of the best scenery the UK has to offer. It is a special race with special people on and off the course. You won’t regret doing it.” — Kieran Alger, Thames Path Challenge Finisher 2013
