March 31, 2008 Get ready to run with Terrence Higgins Trust Scotland | ![]() |
If you enjoy a Body Attack class, an occasional game of football or just want to get fit for summer, sexual health and HIV charity Terrence Higgins Trust Scotland needs enthusiastic people to take part in the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday 25th May. THT has charity assured places available for the marathon which is open for individuals and for the Hairy Haggis Team Relay, where a team of four split the 26.2 mile course between them.
The closing date to apply for a THT charity assured place for groups and individuals is 2nd May 2008. We are asking each entrant or team to raise a minimum of £500 in sponsorship to support THTs services in Scotland.
David Cowan, Fundraiser at THT Scotland said: “THT has guaranteed places and would welcome any fitness enthusiasts to come forward and run the Edinburgh Marathon for us. We’ll ensure that you get lots of support, have a great day out, and by taking part you’ll know that the money you raise will help support THTs vital HIV and sexual health services in Scotland.
David adds: “We offer all our THT runners a fundraising pack, as well as advice and support before, during and after the race - we’ll be there with you every step of the way.”
