HUGE congratulations to Team Caritas who took part in the Accrington 10K on 30 October! Team Caritas is always thankful of eager runners, joggers and walkers for taking part in events to help raise money for vital services. Bernie, Jim and Mary ran hard up and down the Pennine Hills to show their support for the work we do. Have a flick through the photos to see the progressive exhaustion as well as elation of our Team. Mary is currently looking for ladies to join her at the City of Salford Women’s 5.25 mile run on 27 November. She is an amateur runner and is blogging about her experiences trying out the (very unusual) barefoot running shoes you see in the images. Read her blog on The Running Bug.

If you don’t fancy the very specific distance of 5.25 miles, women and men, boys and girls (8+) can join in the Heaton Park 5K Santa Dash on 11th December. Santa suits included and you can even bring your dog (no doggy Santa suits though)! Email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

A heads up – we’re booking places for the 2012 Great Manchester Run on 20 May. Join us!
