Walk4ECMO Summer 'Lockdown' Challenges 2020 : Island Marathon
Event One: Street Island #SocialDistancing 'alternative' Marathon (26/04/20) We've all been made island castaways by #COVID19 but on the last on Sunday 26th March the resident community in our street organised a social distancing 'alternative Marathon' charity event to coincide with the postponed London Marathon. Households stepped forward at their alloted time, as part of their daily exercise, to walk, run or stroll laps of our island, contributing to the overall lap counter. The equivalent distance to the 26.2 miles required to complete the Marathon was calculated to be 281 laps of our island. More than ten households participated in the challenge, including a sausage dog and a boxer dog, and when the laps were totalled up it became clear that our street had completed 2 WHOLE MARATHONS!!! The grand total of 565 laps had been made around our island. Excellent effort all round!
