The route
This epic 25-day run around the rugby clubs of Wales and Gloucestershire will kick off on 9th August in St David’s – Wales’ most-westerly point.
I’ll then head west, visiting as many clubs as I can, meeting Welsh rugby folk before crossing the border into Gloucestershire and finishing at the club where I started playing – Cheltenham RFC on September 2nd.
I hope to run 1,000kms or 1 Million Metres and raise vital funds for The My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and other MND causes along the way.

Get involved
I plan on doing all the running myself but I’m going to need some assistance. The three most important things I will need help with are listed here, and I’m hoping the rugby family will help me out along the way.
However, there are a ton of other little things that will help make The Great Rugger Run a success – would you be able to help?
Some of the heroes that helped me out in previous years:
Show me around your club?
Put me up for a night?
Drive my bag between stops?
