Terry's Long Good Friday Marathon & Fun Run

• Events Home

To raise funds for VICTA (Visually Impaired Children Taking Action), a Milton Keynes based charity that provides support to children who are blind or partially sighted, an charity running event is being held at 10am, on Good Friday 30th March, at Lodge Lake MK8 9EZ. My contribution will be to run a full marathon around the lake – 28 laps - BLINDFOLD, with volunteer guides to keep me company, We have already raised almost £3000 for VICTA and hope to raise much more!
We are inviting other runners from Milton Keynes and the surrounding area to enter the event and join us and our event is open to the general public (children and dogs welcome!), It costs £12.50 to enter (all of this goes to charity), and participants can choose to either run (or walk) 5km, 10km, half-marathon or full marathon distances. If participants can’t make it on the day, they can enter as a “virtual runner” and run 5km (recording it on Garmin, Strava or MapMyRun etc.), email in the “evidence” and get sent a medal/discount vouchers.

Entries will be accepted on the day from 8:30am and parking is available at the Kam Tong Garden restaurant MK8 9BY

On completion of 5km, participants will not only receive a medal, but owing to the generosity of local businesses who have sponsored me, they will also receive some discount offers on production of their race number, or medal:

• 10% discount on interior blinds from “The Blind Man” who provided the medals (see below)
• 10% discount on a meal from the “Kam Tong Garden” who sponsored race numbers and have kindly allowed us to use their Car Park on event day
• Two for one offer on a pint from “The Kensington”
• 15% discount on non-sale running shoes at “Up and Running”

The Macintyre Memory Cafe – Milton Keynes will be on hand to provide special commemorative baked snacks and our facilities have been sponsored by Mammoth Insulation Services, who are based in Stacey Bushes. Marshals from MK Lakeside Runners will be on hand to keep things running smoothly and to provide tea, coffee at “Event HQ”, which will be at the same place as the start/finish – at the “Feeding Station” on Lodge Lake, MK8 9EZ.
