Kincardine - Berlin 904
This Friday 16 of us begin this challenge. Our initial aim was to get out running so we thought why not raise something if we can. We don’t have a set target in mind so anything at all is appreciated. We chose the charity https://www.erskine.org.uk as it fits in nicely with theme of the challenge. We also have serving members in the team and former forces members. We will be keeping track of distances on strava (looking at setting up spreadsheet). We will have weekly/target updates as we go along.
Kincardine - Berlin 904 miles
We came up with this idea during a group chat about running. There were a few in the group who ran frequently. Others commented that it’s hard to be motivated to leave the house and run and we should do something that involves us all.
We came to an agreement that we should run the distance from Kincardine (the place we all grew up) to Berlin. The total mileage for the group is 904 miles. We have a mixed group of abilities from guys who run 5/6 miles every other day to guys who haven't really ran at all.
We decided to begin on VE Day 8th May and finish on D-Day 6th June.
Participants: Stewart Willocks, Gary Horne, Alan Stag, Riccardo Chicarella, Grant Crickmore, John Glendining, Jamie Turnbull, Mark Meneely, Stewart Stanfield, Richard O’Connell, Jamie Macfarlane, Stuart Graham, Derek Simpson, Duncan Duffin, Chris Horne, Scott Graham.

If anyone has experience with spreadsheets I'm looking at setting 1 up so i can keep track of the progress. Drop me a pm if you can help as i have no clue. looking for distance remaining, % complete elapsed time and a pie chart with each member in it.
