Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Our Team comprises Glenn Milne, Scott Thomson, Laura Holden, Scott Smith and Gus McLeod.
Just a few years ago, our team of five were fairly unhealthy, overweight, unable to run much if at all. We all signed up with various Hibernian Community Foundation #HealthyHibees sessions, worked on lifestyle changes, fitness and tried to improve ourselves, both individually and as a team. We tried a few obstacle course runs and races (OCR) found this a fun but testing way to increase our fitness levels and looked for a bigger challenge. Spartan Races have an award for completing their three distance races, the Sprint (5+k), Super
(12+k) and Beast (20+km) which makes one trifecta) This year, our five participants are going to try and complete a triple trifecta whilst wearing our HealthyHibee tops.
Make no mistake this will be very challenging. The 2015 Edinburgh Super race was voted the toughest race in 2015 in the Scottish OCR awards, and in 2016, the distance on the same course area has been upgraded to the half marathon distance Beast race!
Our five participants have their own stories and reasons for trying to complete these challenges, all aimed at raising additional funds to allow the Hibernian Community Foundation to continue their work in our communities, focusing on health, well-being and fitness issues.
