Capability Scotland invites you to go the distance with Steve Cram

26 June 2012

Capability Scotland is looking for runners around Scotland to join one of the UK's most legendary athletes, Steve Cram - as he retraces the steps of his 1986 Commonwealth Gold 800m success.

We have launched an online competition to give 20 lucky winners the opportunity to run with the former world record holder and Clydesdale Bank Ambassador at Meadowbank Stadium.

The competition winners will join Steve for the 800m run on Monday 16th July between 2pm and 4pm.

Anyone interested in this once-in-a lifetime opportunity should enter the draw before the 6th July. Even if you don't win, you could still get the chance to come along on the day to meet Steve, cheer on the runners and take part in a question and answer session.

Commenting on the event Steve said: "I am really looking forward to meeting the runners at what is sure to be a fun event.  Hopefully it will also be an opportunity to raise awareness of the great work Capability Scotland does in supporting disabled adults and children across Scotland."

Capability Scotland Fundraiser, Suzanne O Hara, said: "We are delighted that a a legend like Steve Cram has given his time to Capability Scotland.  We hope as many people as possible will take advantage of this fabulous opportunity to run alongside a sporting hero."
