I recently announced that my next challenge would be called ‘The 12 Days of Christmas.’ I’ll be running 60 miles over the 12 days to raise money for Percy Hedley. My schedule over the 12 days is now finalised and you can find all the information below. I’ve also added the approximate mileage and  supporting runners next to each day.

The first 11 days will be run from my home on Newton Hall with the final day being run to my home. Exact starting times of all my runs are below and I hope to see you there!

If you would like to help run a few miles, please email me at: paul@fatherfitness.co.uk or catch me on Twitter @FatherFitness. If you can’t run, please support this challenge by making a donation here.

Thanks!
