In a few short weeks, the good people of Swallowfield, a village a mile along the road from our office in Riseley, will be hosting the first Swallowfield 10 + 3. This is a family-friendly, off-road 3k fun-run, together with a more competitive 10k road race.
So why is Devant involved?
In the shadowy land of alternative realities (i.e. life outside the office!) my alter-ego is Tiff the Beaver Leader. This means that every Monday evening, I am responsible for the entertainment and Scouting education of a bunch of 6 and 7 year-olds, preparing them for Cubs and eventually Scouts. It's great fun, and a fantastic excuse to indulge in activities like igloo-building, making nettle soup, and hiking in the dark to see the stars...
Like most voluntary organisations, Scouting is cash-strapped, and 1st Swallowfield Scout Group is no exception. So the Swallowfield 10 + 3 is intended as a major fund raiser for the group.
I'm thrilled to be able to sponsor the event (we'll be paying for your goody-bag, if you come along and run!). If you've ever fancied yourself as a potential Seb Coe, sign up for the 3k fun run. Or if you're a seasoned runner, the 10k might be more your thing. Either way, it would be fab to see you there!
