Brett Dalby, Jez Daniels, James Downey, Simon Garlick, Simon Mccune and Paul Tomlinson, nicknamed the Shire Boys, have been running a mile at each ground to raise money for Sports Relief. They finished their efforts at Newcastle’s Kingston Park on Friday night.
“It has been hard work,” said Garlick, landlord at The Red Lion pub in Great Bowden near Market Harborough where the idea was dreamed up.
“The mile run isn’t so bad, it is the drive in between, the warming up and the cooling down and the stiff joints that make it tough.”
