Dan’s Remembrance Day Virtual 11K
Dan Burrow
My Story
Dear all,
I'm running the Remembrance Day 11k for Blesma. Like for many others, this will be the first Rembrance Day I've not attending in decades coupled with isolating pre-shoulder surgery I figured it would be a good way to remember instead.
So, if you are able to contribute at all then it would be appreciated.
Further details below for anyone interested in taking part!
Best wishes
Dan
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.
Our 11K event brings together the community of Blesma supporters creating a communal feel that there are hundreds of other supporters taking part in the event in their local parks and neighbourhoods across all regions of the country, uniting everyone connected to Blesma on a 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 Blesma community come together to complete 11K in Remembrance of the fallen, and those who came home injured. We will be streaming the live invitational event from our head office in Chelmsford on Sunday 8th November from 8.30am, so you can join us virtually for a live warm up led by 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 verifiy your 11K and so we can send your finishers 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 Day 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.

You can do your 11K on Sunday 8th November anytime between 06.00 - 00.00
We will be live streaming an event briefing and warm up on Sunday 8th November from 08.30, for anyone who is completing their run in the morning. Afterwards, you can join the Blesma community to observe the two minutes silence at 11am, which will be live streamed. Viewable on our Facebook live.
