Running for their lives! Ibex and Akin at the Kiln Sierra Leone Marathon 2012

Staff from Ibex Insurance and members of the Gibraltar charity AKIN (Association for Kids In Need) have joined forces in an ambitious and adventurous project to raise money for the UK charity Street Child of Sierra Leone.
Marathon running has become a very popular challenge for charity fundraisers over the years and the Ibex/Akin team are busy training for their first ever marathon but not in Lisbon or Madrid nor in London or New York.  No, this group is heading for the small town of Makeni in northern Sierra Leone.
There has never been an organised ‘open' marathon in Sierra Leone, which has a tropical climate and high humidity. 70% of the marathon course is on packed mud roads and the race is during the start of the rainy season.
Has the question ‘Why?' crossed your mind yet?
