On Saturday 4th October 2014, for the sixth year running, the team provided standby rescue cover for the Rivington Trail Half Marathon event.

Organised by 2:09 Events, the race enjoyed its sixth year in Rivington, with the route starting at Rivington & Blackrod School, and heading north to the White Coppice area, and then returning to Rivington via the Rivington Reservoir system.

Today we are very happy to report the receipt of a marvellous donation of £500.00 from 2:09 Events as a thank you for our provision of standby rescue cover for the October 2014 event.

The whole team membership wishes to extend its grateful thanks to 2:09 Events for this kind donation.

The team is pleased to be invited every year to help assist with this successful local event by 2:09 Events, with thanks to their Managing Director Mike Gratton of 2:09 Events Limited, of Farnborough, and we look forward to the seventh event in October 2015 which will hopefully be held again from Rivington, and include the continuation of our involvement.
