Santa runs for Global Footsteps

Howard Marshall pictured here, dressed as Santa, with Ania Standish, ran a half marathon in our linked community of Torun. Glenn Standish (our man in Torun) sent this short report:

Global Footsteps member Howard Marshall successfully took part in Torun's annual Santa Claus half-marathon (today is St Nicholas Day). Howard did very well at completed the 21km route in 2hrs 33 mins (a personal best for him...which is quite a feat considering he was wearing a full Santa outfit complete with white painted-on beard!).

Howard was running in aid of Global Footsteps. Thanks to all those who have sponsored him. And for those who haven't there is still time to sponsor!

A short film has been made of his run...and once we edit the raw material...Howard will no doubt show it to you all one evening. You can contact Howard to say well done at 07slr@tiscali.co.uk.

Well done Howard!!
