£150 raised for the Trussell Trust!!

As a club we completed the #RunToTour Challenge after having extending the distance to Porec and back to Sheffield!

This challenge involved us covering the 3438km distance by any means necessary, be that run, walk, cycle or even log in some km on a rowing machine.

We covered 3516.84km over the 28 day period, reaching our target 3 days early all in an effort to raise money for the Trussell Trust who are providing vital food supplies to those who need it during the COVID19 situation. We also joined in on a competition with Sheffield University Rowing Club and Sheffield University Rugby Football Club half way through the 28 period to see who could cover the most distance in one day by running only. We managed to run 372km alone and over 2,000km were covered in total by all the clubs. This helped raise the fundraising efforts of all clubs, and for SURC and SURFC to raise money for the NHS. So an amazing level of commitment and dedication from all club members.

Thank you to everyone for contributing and for donating! We managed to raise £150 for the Trussell Trust which will go a long way to helping those who need it.

Special mention to our 1XV captain Harriet Burniston who covered the furthest distance during the 28 days, covering a staggering 283km a big well done to her all the SULRFC members though.
