The first of our Chariots of Fire virtual runners are keen (they got out before the rain here & hopefully in better weather in Germany !).

We still have a handful of spaces if anyone fancies a medal featuring a reminting of 1924 Olympic medal on the 100th anniversary of the games as featured in the film Chariots of Fire.

If you do want a shot at this simply PayPal £16 to [email protected] go run a 5km - let us know how you get on & we’ll pop your medal in the post.

Best of luck on your runs.🦊

A few people have asked about our Chariots of Fire Olympic medals

We are happy to make these available as a virtual event - drop me a line if you wish to run virtually.

We will also have a few available at our December Deja Vu event giving you a final chance to lay your hands on this one off medal.
