Join Children in Crossfire for a run home and away

JOIN Children in Crossfire in the gothic capital of the Mediterranean to experience one of Europe's most exhilarating running challenges. Children in Crossfire are recruiting runners for the Barcelona Half Marathon on Sunday, February 13, 2011.

Sarah Gallagher, fundraiser said: “We are delighted to be offering this trip to the Barcelona Half Marathon for the fourth consecutive year.

“Our three previous running teams had a fantastic time running through Barcelona’s amazing city centre passing such wonderful sites such as the Sagrada Familia, Las Ramblas and the stadium from the 1992 Olympics. The reaction of our participants on their return has been so positive and they enjoyed every minute of their experience.

“The sense of achievement after finishing a half marathon is indescribable, but an added incentive is that the money you are raising will help vulnerable children in Tanzania and Ethiopia and give them opportunities for a better future. You don’t need to be a professional runner or athlete, this challenge is for everyone, it will be an unbelievable personal accomplishment, so put on your running shoes and join us in Barcelona for Valentine’s Weekend 2011.”

To reserve your place, please send 150 deposit to the Children in Crossfire office, we are asking participants to raise a minimum sponsorship and this will cover flights, transfers, 3 nights’ accommodation and guaranteed race entry.

If you prefer something closer to home join Children in Crossfire for the Tesco Waterside Half Marathon which takes place on Sunday, September 12.
