P Company Challenge
For those seeking an even tougher race: The Parachute Regiment challenges you to attempt the 10 Mile 'P' Company Cross Country Route, carrying a bergen (rucksack) weighing 35lb (excluding food water) and wearing long trousers with ‘military style’ boots. Competitors rucksacks will be weighed before and after the race, by race officials. The P Company Challenge is open to individuals and teams of 4 (With the first 3 runners to count). As a guide the Paratroopers Company Selection cut off time is 1 hr 50 minutes.
The Route: A multi-terrain endurance event, the race will follow the same route as the 10 mile run. There will be water stations located along the route and at the start and finish. The First Aid Station will be located at Race Control with a roving back up facility. NB. The route is not suitable for wheelchairs.
Medals & T-Shirts: Medals and T-Shirts will be awarded to all who finish the course.
Sponsorship: Why not let someone benefit from your pain and hard work on the PARAS' 10, by raising sponsorship for a worthwhile cause? All 4 Battalions of the Parachute Regiment and the Airborne Forces of 16 Air Assault Brigade have all been on operations in Afghanistan in 2011 and sadly many will return with injuries and they and their families will need our support. We hope you choose to raise money for the Parachute Regiment Charity, sponsorship forms can be printed out here.
