Join the Stroke Association to conquer the Dash of the Titan
The Stroke Association is calling out for runners who are up for a challenge to take part in the Dash of the Titan obstacle race on Saturday 26 March 2016 in Thoresby Park, Nottinghamshire.
Runners can choose from two races, the Titan Dash, a 5km off road obstacle race at 10am, or the Titan Survivor, a 10 mile off road obstacle race at 1pm. Situated in the park's North Woods, runners will be pitted against obstacles including water, mud, hurdles, walls, tyres and even spiders’ webs.
Alexa Wigfield, Regional Fundraiser at the Stroke Association, said: “The Titan Dash and The Titan Survivor are designed to take you out of your comfort zone and test your ability. Taking part is a fun and inspiring experience, but there’s a serious purpose behind it; stroke is the leading cause of complex adult disability in the UK.
“At the Stroke Association, we want to be there for everyone affected by stroke, so please do join our team and help us raise the funds that could make this a reality. The money raised by our Titans will go towards research into preventing strokes, and supporting stroke survivors and their families to rebuild their lives after stroke.”
