run the British 10K race with the VSO - 3rd July 2005
The VSO (the international development charity) based here in Putney is is seeking runners with a love of London to take part in the fifth annual British 10K race on 3 July 2005. 20,000 runners will take to the streets of London, running past historic and contemporary landmarks, along streets that have been trodden by Londoners for centuries. Unlike other races, the British 10K takes runners right past well known landmarks like St James's Palace, Trafalgar Square, St Paul's Cathedral, the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall. VSO sends people to help the poorest countries in the world by sharing their
skills to change lives. The money raised will support volunteers who are
working in education, health and livelihoods. Entry is just £25 with a
minimum sponsorship amount of £100. £100 could provide essential language
training for a volunteer in Ethiopia to communicate more effectively with
local colleagues. May 27, 2005 |
