Program
Friday
Wild Running can collect you from Ivybridge Station for free or from Totnes or Plymouth upon request (for a 10 GBP supplement) or they will give you directions to the camp, which is easily accessible from the A38 near Plymouth.
They aim to do an ice breaker limb loosening run of between 4 and 5 miles at around 5:30 p.m. for anyone who is able to arrive by then. From 7 to 7:30 p.m., enjoy an evening meal cooked by the staff.
There will be a bed time story with Ceri. He will talk about his experience of living with Kipchohe Keino, double Olympic champion at his orphanage in Kenya as a teenager and his experience of befriending and training with Zimbabwe’s top distance runner and asylum seeker Williard Chinanhu and how his attitude to running informed his life. Take the rest of the time to relax and bed in.
