THE CHALLENGE
Taking place between 5-8 June in Normandy, France. This four-day package includes return transport from London, three-nights’ accommodation, all meals, including a pasta party the night before and full medical and event support.
There is a 22-mile walk, a 22-mile run and a 44-mile ultra-run to choose from. Participants choose their distance and their fundraising option.
The route starts at the Pointe du Hoc. This is where Colonel Rudder led an elite group of 200 rangers up the chalk cliffs using ropes and ladders. After dispatching the German sentries at the top of the cliff, their mission was to find and destroy large battery guns. This action was crucial as these large guns were capable of firing shells several miles out to sea and would therefore have claimed many men’s lives who would be arriving at Utah beach the following morning. After destroying the guns, but alerting a large German infantry force, Colonel Rudder and his men fought bravely with their backs to the sea.
