Blesma Remembrance 11k

View this email in your browser

Blesma are delighted to launch our inaugural Remembrance 11K, a Blesma fundraising event which will both commemorate the significant day of Remembrance and raise vital funds for our limbless and injured veterans.

This event will bring together Blesma supporters from across the country, creating a unique and interconnected community of participants in their own local parks and neighbourhoods across all regions, uniting everyone connected to Blesma on this very important day.

From 08.30 on Sunday 8th November 2020, you may join the Blesma team at this inaugural event which will see the military community come together to complete 11K in Remembrance of the fallen, and to honour those who came home injured.

We will be streaming the live invitational event from our Chelmsford office on Sunday 8th November from 8.30am, so you can join us virtually for a live warm up from a local personal trainer and experience the pre-race build up! Post-race we will also be streaming the two minutes silence which we invite you to observe with us.

Track your 11K
Run 11K virtually, wherever you are and link your Strava account to your registration (you will have this option when you sign up). You will need to link your Strava account in order to verify your 11K and so that we can send your finisher’s pack. If you don't already have Strava, it is free to download from the Apple or Android app store.

How to take part?
Click on the registration button to sign up for this event. There is a £25 registration fee payable when you sign up and no minimum fundraising amount
Participants will receive a special Blesma finisher’s pack which will include our Remembrance 11K medal and a Blesma buff. Please note before we send these out, we will require verification from Strava of your 11K, which should be automatically sent to us if you have linked your Strava account during your registration. We are here to assist if you have any difficulty with linking the accounts.
