AUTHOR and adventure runner Doug Richards will be giving a talk on his global adventures at 8pm on October 13 at The Abbey Hotel in Redditch.
Doug plans to complete at least a half marathon on each of the seven continents and has already targeted Antarctica this coming March as a future challenge.
The event will be used to raise funds for the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, which is the chosen charity for the year for The Abbey Hotel, which has generously offered their complementary support of the evening.
“I give a lot of talks on my races around the world to various clubs and societies in the Midlands but most of these have a closed membership,” said Doug, aged 69.
“This is an opportunity for anyone to hear what I have to say and hopefully inspire them to become more adventurous themselves in their own lives, whatever their interests.”
Doug, who recently returned from running a half marathon in the Australian Outback, has supported the Midlands Air Ambulance since 2014 and has raised more than £3,500 for them through his talks and his running exploits.
Entry to the event is free, but people are asked to register at www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/running-hot-cold-talk-tickets-37992691162
