A team of Helsby Running Club members and businessmen will tackle one of the oldest extreme multi-sport endurance races to raise money for charity. The five-strong Silver Surfers team are taking part in the Three Peaks Yacht Race. They will be raising money of a number of local charities; the Hospice of the Good Sheppard, St Ann’s Hospice, SOS Children and Round Table Children’s Wish. Follow the progress of Phil, Jackie, Trevor, John and Richard on this blog.
The Race and the Team
The Three Peaks Yacht Race involves sailing 389 nautical miles, running 59 miles and cycling 30 miles in a week – sailing from Barmouth on Saturday 19th June, via Caernafon to climb Snowdon; Whitehaven to climb Scafell Pike and finally to Fort William to climb Ben Nevis.
Helsby Running Club members Phil Gillard, Jackie Keasley and boat owner and captain Trevor Murphy will do all the running and cycling and also act as deck hands. Businessmen John Bailey and Richard Stone will sail the team’s yacht, Josephine –a Beneteau Oceanis 40 and one of the largest of the 23 boats in the race – through some of the trickiest waters of the Welsh, English and Scottish west coasts, navigating sandbanks, tidal streams, rocks and whirlpools.
