The annual PARA'S 10 event will be taking place this year on Sunday 12th September at Catterick.
Resurrected in 2008 after a 15 year hibernation, this 'ultimate endurance race' will once again be hosted by Pegasus Company, The Parachute Regiment's training and selection wing, and is open to anyone who's up for it and can cough up the £25 entrance fee (there is £250 for the fastest entrant).
Not only is the event a chance for those outside the Regiment to prove how fit they are and to find out what the Paras keep harping on about, it is also an ideal fundraising opportunity.
Last year 2,500 runners took part raising over £100,000 for service charities.
This year Roger Micklethwaite and associates will be taking up the challenge and raising money for The Royal Anglian Regiment Benevolent Charity Fund. The Fund helps serving and former members of the Regiment and their families who find themselves in need, hardship or distress.
If you would like to support Roger & Co. and help them raise some money for the Royal Anglians, visit his webpage at
Good luck, Roger (you'll need it)!
