Submariners London Run

On October 29th, 5 instructors and five students from SMQ (south), intend to run from HMS Raleigh in Cornwall to Westminster over a period of five days, arriving at the Submariners Memorial on the Embankment at 1415 on Friday 2 November 2007. The team will attend a Service at Westminster Abbey at 1300 on Saturday 3rd November and take part in the Memorial Parade on the embankment on Sunday 4th Nov at 1100




The instructors and students have been training hard throughout the summer, in order to complete this mammoth task.

All participants have been following a rigorous training programme consisting of weight training, CV work and of course long distance runs. One of the instructors PO Harris has been pleased with his preparation, "The training has been tough, but I am sure I will be grateful come the week of the run."

The students taking part in the run are all currently under instruction to qualify as submariners. One of the instructors, CPO Bayiss, (pictured below with some of the students) said, "They are a great bunch of lads and are doing well on their course. I will be happy to serve with any of them on a submarine."

The students pictured are; AB(TSM) Lee Rowland, AB (CISSM) Jamie Birse, AB (WESM) Joe Rush and AB (TSM) Ricky D`Arcy who said, "I am looking forward to the run, its for a great cause and it should be a lot of fun."
