Phil the 6 Towns Runner becomes the Pied Piper of half marathons

Member of 6 Towns Radio Boots, Bats and Balls Sports Team, Phil Thomas is preparing to run 12 half marathons in 12 days in his "6 Towns Run x 2 = 12 .

Phil is planning to run around the area of North Staffordshire and South Cheshire to raise money for the Donna Louise Hospice Trust, starting on Wednesday 28^th March and finishing at the Crewe 10k race on Easter Sunday (8^thApril).

Phil said: ''For the first run I’ve yet to form a plan but I'm looking for ideas and i thought I’d try and devise a route through each of the 6 towns and back''

The 11^th run will incorporate the Hanley Parkrun, which takes place every Saturday at 9am and then on the final days run, Phil is planning to do the Crewe 10k race twice and a bit, to get the 13.1 miles.

''I have already got a good following on Twitter who want to run with me on the last one including a guy from Edinburgh and folk from Sussex and South Shields plus lots from North Staffs too so this should be a grand finale for me'', Phil added.
