Centurion Running Club raise £800 for SoLO

Centurion Running Club, based at North Solihull Sports Centre in Chelmsley Wood, raise £800 for SoLO as part of the club’s 50th-anniversary celebrations.

Last year Centurion Running Club challenged its members to collectively run 50,000km. The group smashed this target by October and by 31 December reached 59,000km. Funds were raised through sponsorship, donations, and the sale of the club’s 50th-anniversary t-shirts.

“On behalf of SoLO, I’d like to say a massive well done and thank you to Centurion Running Club for supporting SoLO as part of their 50th-anniversary celebrations. Collectively running 59,000km is a fantastic achievement for all the runners involved and we’re really grateful to you all for raising money for us in the process“.
