❗ Just over 1 week to go! ❗

There is still time to sign up for the the VOAAC marathon challenge on Saturday 3rd October.

So what is the marathon challenge? It's a team event, where runners complete 200m efforts in a relay format to reach the total marathon distance while trying to beat the series of records. All ages are invited to take part, whether a junior, senior or parent.

As with last year, we ask that participating juniors raise a minimum of £5 and seniors and parents raise a minimum of £10; any amount above this would also be gratefully received.

Last year we had over 50 juniors, seniors and parents who took part. It would be great to replicate that this year and raise a fantastic amount for Wheelpower.

You can also order some new kit and merchandise from our official kit provider, Chiltern Sports, who will be present.

We look forward to seeing everyone take part and show the fantastic community spirit we have at Vale of Aylesbury.
