Bomb Disposal Officer, Si Hannaford will be running, cycling and swimming 1777 miles in 26 days to raise £100,000 for charities; the Felix Fund and the Hummingbird Centre starting in Portsmouth on 1st June and ending in Bicester on 26th June.
At 6am on 12th June in John O’Groats, Scotland, Si will run the first of 756 miles in an NP Aerospace 4030 ELITE Bomb Disposal Suit – weighing 35.8kg – in an attempt to beat the fastest mile in a bomb disposal suit record of 7-minutes 24-seconds which was set by a British Army Solider in 2017.
Si is urging people to follow his YouTube channel https://lnkd.in/d2yJbvJ. He needs 1000 followers so he can broadcast it live from his mobile phone.
The Tri26 challenge is to swim 21miles – the length of the English channel – then cycle 1000 miles from Land’s End to John O’Groats and finally run 756 miles from John O’Groats back to Bicester. The first mile of the run will be wearing the NP Aerospace 4030 ELITE Bomb Suit.
