Fundraising No Obstacle to Heroic Spartans
Congratulations and a huge thank you to Greg Hale and a
group of his colleagues who completed the
Cambridge Spartan Sprint on Sunday 1st September and who have so
far raised £1071.00 for
Little Discoverers, with donations still coming in.
The event consisted of a 5km military style obstacle course,
which included, cross country running and a
combination of scaling walls jumping over them, crawling under them and climbing through holes in them!
The tortuous
circuit included a concrete block hoist and cargo net climb; spear throwing and
a run over wet
muddy hills through clay filled pits. After carrying large rocks
over hills of rubble and sand, an ammunition box
and a water filled drum were carried around a circuit.
A 20ft climb up a steep slope by rope and then down a
vertical rope leading to the finish where competitors
were faced to run a gauntlet of three ‘gladiators’ before crossing the line...ouch!
Our heartfelt thanks to the successful participants, who are from left to right…
Katie Glen, Greg Hale, Purdie Urquhart, Steve Toseland and Stuart Hard
