Real Torch Relay update

Alasdair completed his leg from Kirkoswald to Alloway – taking over the baton from Stephen Flannagan then adding in a 4 mile detour up the  Carrick Hills to get a picture of the baton overlooking Arran  before passing it to Paul Canlin to take onto Troon.
Currently the ‘real torch relay’ is on the Isle of Lewis on track to head back down the east Coast of Scotland back towards England in just over a week.
The Endurancelife Real Relay is an exciting attempt to follow the entire route of the official Olympic Torch around the British Isles in one continuous non-stop journey, running every step of the way.

Albion Environmental’s own Alasdair Meldrum has signed up to do a stage of the Real Relay (Thursday 16th June afternoon) running 10 miles from Kirkoswald to Alloway!!

Extract from their site below
The Endurance life Real Relay is an exciting attempt to follow the entire route of the official Olympic Torch around the British Isles in one continuous non-stop journey, running every step of the way. Starting out from Land’s End at midnight on Monday 28 May, ten days behind the official Olympic Torch, the Real Relay will involve hundreds of runners from across the British Isles running through the day and night on an 8000 mile mission to reach London in time for the Olympic Games opening ceremony. We’re calling on runners from all over the British Isles to join the relay by signing up to run one or more of the stages (below) and help achieve one of the greatest Olympic endeavours of all time. select a stage to run, or help us spread the word
I think it is a great idea and a simple way to generate funds for charity. There are still lots of slots for later stages available so please pass the word round.
