In our latest fundraising venture, we are delighted to announce Oaklands’ Virtual Marathon!

As spring and summer beckon us, would you like to…

…get you/your friends/your family fitter for the summer?

…earn a bit of bling?

…help Oaklands School raise money for an amazing Innowalk?

Oaklands School is holding a Virtual Marathon from 28th March to 22nd April, and asking you and yours to take part, for a donation of £10. You don’t need to run a marathon in one go, but you do need to make sure that you cover the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles) over those 26 days. By finishing up on 22nd April, you can celebrate with the London Marathon runners that day!

 

 

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO

You can do our Virtual Marathon by :

Running Walking Swimming Dancing Cycling Skiing Skating

or any other way that you can move!

· It can be done as a family, a group, individually. (You can ask as many people as you like to take part – why not ask work colleagues, or any other groups you’re in!)

· You could do it at school, at home, at work.

· You could do a mile a day. (If your child is at our school, their “Daily Mile” activity could be included!)

· You could do a weekly “chunk”, eg 6 mile run

· Maybe you’re already doing the London Marathon, and could get two medals!

And you do get a medal at the end – to recognise your efforts for us.

But if this isn’t something you fancy doing – maybe you know someone else who would do it for us?

All profit from this event will go towards Oaklands Innowalk Fundraising Challenge. See https://oaklandsedinburgh.com/2017/12/10/please-help-us-raise-70000-stv-come-to-oaklands/ for further details.
