We're delighted to say that Jonathon chose Willow Burn Hospice as his charity and he is taking on the world famous, highly competitive 'Suffolk Back Yard Ultra Event' on Saturday 7 June.
The concept is simple; participants start on the hour every hour and have to complete a 4.167 mile trail route in that time, until only one person remains who can complete one 4.167 loop in the 1 hour time limit.
It's up to each runner how quick they complete one lap within an hour, however, if participants are not in the starting pen on the hour, then they're out!
Held at High Lodge Thetford Forest in Suffolk, this Ultra Event is NOT for the faint hearted! The concept may be simple, the rules are simple, but it's only easy until it isn't!
Not only is Jonathon taking on this monumental Ultra Event for his Local Hospice, he is also running a 'Bet the Lap' Sweepstake amongst his family, friends and work colleagues and sharing the proceeds with Willow Burn AND he is donating £5 of his own money, per lap, for each lap he completes.
Jonathon will have a team with him to spur him on, help him change and get him through each lap in the best condition possible.
We invited Jonathon into Willow Burn last week to give him some Willow Burn T-shirts and our very own Will O'Burn gave him his best running advice and told him how incredibly grateful we all are that he has chosen to do this epic challenge to raise funds for Willow Burn Hospice.
Good luck, Jonny - you've got this!!
