The Battle of Arnhem, or Op Market Garden 1944, was an ambitious airborne attempt to end the Second World War early, and was made famous by the film A Bridge Too Far. Legend says the 10 miler in the PARAS’10 is the distance the paratroops had to travel on foot from the Drop Zone to the Bridge.
If you wish to enter VIRTUAL ARNHEM 2021, here’s how:
- Entry will be £15. Please donate a little extra if you can for our charity.
- There will be an absolute limit of 500 places.
- You can do your event on any day Sat 24 - Sat 31 July.
- You must register BEFORE you do your event. Entries will close at midnight Fri 23 July.
- You must do 10 miles, TAB or RUN, only once. You cannot do both.
- 10 Miles + 0 feet elevation - it’s a flat course, although it was anything but easy in 1944
- Your TAB weight of 35lbs/16kg will be taken on trust by the PARAS’10 community – please don’t betray it by cheating.
- No Kids race.
INDIVIDUALS AND TEAMS
- You enter as an INDIVIDUAL.
- You may also enter as part of a TEAM of 4 in TAB or RUN, M or F. No mixed TAB/RUN teams allowed. ONLY 4 counts as a Team - not 3 or 5.
- Team members do not need to run together, on the same day, or even the same continent. You are Virtual Teams in a Virtual Arnhem!
- When you enter as an Individual, if you are also part of a Team, you MUST enter your Team name as well. You cannot do it later. So sort out your team with your mates before entering and agree a good, identifiable name.
- The aggregate of all 4 times will count.
- If one team member fails to submit a time, then the Team will not be eligible, but your Individual times will still be in the results.
- Individuals may win a trophy as well as be part of a winning team.
