Can You Help??

The Darrens Dash 555 is shaping up to be a massive event this year. We've already got many runners signed up for the challenging 5 mile hill run. It's not just about the race though, we're planning a fun packed family day for all to enjoy.

One of the most popular events during the day has always been the Grand Raffle. This wouldn't be nearly so popular if it wasn't for the generosity of local businesses donating prizes.

So, can you help make this years raffle bigger and better than those that have gone before? Can you, or your business, donate a prize to make the raffle live up to reputation that it has. And remember, you will be helping to raise funds for the Noah's Ark Appeal - they're looking to raise £1.5million for a new state of the art MRI scanner at the Children's Hospital For Wales. Proceeds will also be going to the Longtown Mountain Rescue Team and the Longtown Outdoor Education Centre Bursary Fund.

Please get in touch if you can help out, all donations will be gratefully received.

Race Marshalls

It has just been confirmed that the Longtown Mountain Rescue Team have very kindly agreed to act as marshalls for our challenging 5 mile hill run (not that we're anticipating any incidents that would need their services!).

The team provide a valuable service for the local area and is staffed entirely by volunteers. Although now based in Abergavenny the team have a long association with the Longtown Outdoor Education Centre.

The Longtown MRT will be one of the beneficiaries of  money raised at our fun packed Darrens Dash 555. If you're looking for a fun packed family day out on the 5th June then come and join us for a whole days excitement and entertainment. There's something on offer for all the family.
