What is it all about?
Running Shoos is an initiative developed to build on Shoosmiths’ commitment to corporate social responsibility. By inviting any and all Shoosmiths employees and clients to take part in a variety of charity events, the initiative aims to raise money both for the national Charity of the Year, and for the local organising Office Nominated Charity.
Not just for the hard-core runners amongst our contacts, Running Shoos aims to cater for everyone’s fitness levels, and activities planned include all kinds of running events across the country. So whether you would like to do a leisurely 1km walk followed by a nice cup of tea or a gruelling 2 day adventure race followed by a days rehydration, your local Running Shoos co-ordinator can help.
The grand plan is to help members of staff, clients and friends of Shoosmiths to participate in events that they would otherwise not have the opportunity to do so, whilst raising money for charity.

I am really interested in doing this but I do not have a Bike, will this be a problem?
Absolutely no problem, if you need a Bike, Andrew Patterson will get a loan of one for you, or you can rent one on the day fro the event organisers.
I have never done anything like this before, and my fitness has been better, will I still be able to do this.
I am afraid - only you will know if you can do it.
My own experience as a beer belly weilding novice runner is that if you aim to finish and not worry about the time you will as long as you are comfortable running a similar distance before hand.
This event does need you to train, I would suggest for 10 weeks beforehand.
If you are not sure about entering an adventure race then maybe you could try the hell run 2 weeks later, its a 10-12 miler run only and gruelling through mud and what have you, but it is all about finishing, no fancy times.
If you want to be ready in time you will be!!
Over 10 weeks still to train.
Don't hesitate, just do it, if you couldnt do it, you would not be thinking about it - trustme, you won't be last - I will be holding up the rear!!
