Charity run raises over €12,000
Local Algarve business owners successfully complete their marathon challenge while raising money for Re-Food food bank in Almancil.
Joe Mountain from Sandy Blue and J Seabrook from BJs Oceanside managed to complete their 26.2 mile run on 26 March, heading off from Quinta do Lago at 8.43am and then running 2 laps of a 9 mile circuit round the airport before running back through Quinta to their finishing line in Quarteira.
The pair told The Portugal News: “The aim was to run a ‘negative split’ which meant doing the second half faster than the first. Considering the forecast for very warm weather and the route, which was mainly off road, (dirt tracks and the odd sandy patch) we decided that we should aim for 10kmph.
