Brothers Kenneth and Davis Reader, alongside their friend John Guthrie set themselves a mammoth challenge to run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours back in 2021… 4x4x48!

Davis said: “We were looking to support a local charity. We have all known someone close to us spend their last few weeks being well looked after by St Cuthbert’s and we felt now is a great time to give back.”

“John brought the idea up and I’ve jumped at it. We have seemingly convinced/conned Kenneth into thinking it’s a good idea too.”

The trio hoped to take to the streets around their hometown of Durham and mixed it up by running a little further afield too. “We may as well see some nice spots while clocking up the miles rather than the same pavements. Though for the runs we do at 12am and 4 am we will be searching for street lights so will likely stick to our own estates.”

Davis said “Our friends and family have been so generous. The MGL Group and the Dunes Event group have also pledged their support by donating £750.00 so far which is absolutely amazing! Hopefully we can continue to gain more local businesses support when we are taking part!”

The team managed to raise over £6,000 for the Hospice!
