MCR Muckers - Lakeland Trails Ultra Marathon
'Manchester Muckers Running Club' (once known as just 'the 4 lads going out for a drink'..) - are tackling our first ever Lakeland trails Ultra Marathon in around the mountains & hills of lake Windermere in aid of the Salford Baby Bank.
We want to put our accidentally formed pass time to good use & raise as much as possible for a very worthy charity in the process. The Lakeland trails ultra is a tough, challenging 55km course, with 7,000 ft ascent that takes in some of the most dramatic mountains passes in the Lake District!
We are hoping to raise some vital funds for the Salford Baby Bank. A baby bank is a bit like a food bank and under the strain of the cost of living crisis, sadly more and more families are relying on them to get by. Like food banks, baby banks rely on donations and we are hoping to raise some vital funds over the next few weeks that will go directly to helping those most in need.
The first few months of a new baby are hard enough. The Salford Baby Bank help Salford families in urgent need of baby essentials such as nappies, wipes, milk formula and other equipment and clothes.
Training is now well ( ish..!) under way and we are all ready ( we think! ) for the 55km challenge in July! Please, If you have a couple of spare quid then you can donate here, no donation too small!
