La Pedrera Lake
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28th 2010
WALK, RUN OR CYCLE
5km, 10km or 20km
Get fit and take part in our fantastic Casa La Pedrera Round the Lake Charity Challenge around the Embalse de la Pedrera, Torremendo. The scenery is beautiful and the area unspoilt.
Now in its second year, the +- 20km route can be walked, run or even cycled. There are also 5km and 10km routes available for those who would prefer a shorter distance.
Participants are encouraged to raise money for either Paul Cunningham Nurses or the Help Charity Vega Baga (see below for links to sponsorship forms). Alternatively those taking part can simply pay a €5,00 entrance fee on the day which will be split between the two charities.
TRAINING DAYS
For those wishing to take part, but not sure of their fitness level, we will be running training days at Casa La Pedrera each Monday at 11am for beginners and for the advanced Mondays at 2.00pm throughout January and February until the 28th. This gives everyone time to get into good shape and participate in the challenge with confidence.
Although there will be no overall winner for the 20kms there will be time zones; gold, silver and bronze for each category whereby you will be able to work towards finishing within a specific time. All participants for the 20 km’s will receive a certificate for taking part so please register your interest in taking part with us.
