A foolhardy group of 20 runners from Burges Salmon has entered a team into the Welsh Castles Road Relay Race on 12-13 June 2010 in aid of Help for Heroes. 
 
The Burges Salmon team will collectively run a distance of over 210 miles from Caernarfon Castle in the north to Cardiff Castle in the south over 2 days.  Each runner will complete one stage of between 9 and 13 miles (some of which will involve a vertical climb of over 1000ft) in a relay race, against serious competitors.  The race is not only a huge physical challenge for each runner, but it it is also a logistical one as the team is responsible for negotiating the route to get runners, food, and water to the right places and to the right people at the right time!

Every penny raised will go directly to Help for Heroes, which exists to help wounded servicemen and women returning from war. Help for Heroes aims to supplement the available facilities and care so that those in rehabilitation get the very best facilities and treatment in order to recover from their injuries and rebuild their careers and their lives.
