In our series featuring our 40-plus runners and walkers in The Royal Parks Half Marathon, First Event´s Megan Urwin admits her running background is less than comprehensive.
“I am really delighted to be running the Royal Parks Half this year in aid of Meeting Needs. It’s an incredible foundation and a true representation of how wonderful our industry is, with volunteers and partners from various organisations joining together and raising money to help those in need in the UK and beyond.
“This year, over 40 of us are braving the 13 mile distance, and I have no doubt that we will get through it together!
“Though it’s not my first experience with running (I took part in the Amsterdam Marathon in 2023) I can honestly say that since then, I have barely ran a 5k (I definitely don’t recommend this strategy FYI!) so I know this will be a huge challenge.
“Please help make it all worth it by donating to the cause, any amount, great or small, is greatly appreciated https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/meganurwin2024”
The Royal Parks Half Marathon is a marvellous event industry gathering in London´s beautiful parks, starting and finishing in Hyde Park.
