DHL First Nation Home for Sport Relief 2012 Launch

by Press Release
Tuesday 1st November 2011

Take part and represent your country in the First Nation Home 6 mile RanSlam run on 25th March 2012

There are 66,400,000 people in the United Kingdom and Ireland — on the 25th of March you could be in the 0.006% of the population who'll be representing their nation.

In March of 2012 four teams of celebrated sports people and celebrities representing England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales will race over 1,000 miles around the UK and Ireland in the biggest ever Sport Relief Challenge. The teams will start simultaneously in their home cities of Cardiff, Dublin, Edinburgh and London as they run, row, cycle and sail their way clockwise around the UK and Ireland from the 10th to the 17th of March 2012. For eight days they will push their bodies to the extreme as they raise a stack of money for Sport Relief. Every turn of the pedal, every stroke of the oar, will carry the hopes of a nation.

You'll watch this challenge unfold from your sofa, gently stretching and limbering up as you prepare for Sunday the 25th of March when YOU will join your celebrity team mates. Side-by-side you'll run the final 6 miles of this journey with them, as fast as you can for your country and a better world. Your efforts will ultimately determine who wins the challenge and is crowned the First Nation Home!

Go to http://www.firstnationhome.com/the-challenge and register to represent your country!
