ADVERT I SEMENT F EATURE
LOOKING FOR A NEW CHALLENGE THIS SPRING? Only The Brave is one of the only multi-obstacle mud runs in East Anglia, and all proceeds go to the East Anglian Air Ambulance to help them save lives
aking place across the Elveden Estate near Thetford Forest on Sunday 29 March, Only The Brave features a six- or ten-
mile route, numerous obstacles, lots of mud and a lot of fun to be had while supporting this incredible charity! Seven people from Bright Publishing, including some of the Cambridge Edition team, have signed up to take part as our company is supporting EAAA this year as our chosen charity. Now in its fifth year, Only The Brave will be showcasing lots of new obstacles and challenges for 2020. As well as powering through muddy trenches, climbing over hay bales and tackling the monkey bars, you’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be part of the EAAA crew as you complete an EAAA kitbag carry and emergency-room dash on the course. Tickets cost £35 for the six-mile route and £45 for the ten-mile route, with a suggested £50 sponsorship.
Leanne Kershaw, events manager at EAAA, says: “Only The Brave is a fantastic activity to do as a group if you need a hand getting through the obstacles or, if you’re really into your fitness, you can set yourself a target and try and complete the course as quickly as you can. We’re really pleased to have so many people who choose to do this event year after year and can’t wait to see the new obstacles we’ve been working on in action!”
COULD YOU LEND A HAND AND VOLUNTEER INSTEAD? A huge part of making this event a success is our army of wonderful volunteers, so if a muddy obstacle race isn’t your thing, please consider volunteering a few hours of your time to help us pack goody bags for the event, or marshalling and cheering on our runners on the day! To help out, volunteer now at volunteer@eaaa.org.uk
