BASINGSTOKE and Overton army cadets helped out at a tough running event in Hampshire.
For the tenth year running, Z Company assisted with the ‘Hell Down South’ Hell Runner Event on January 14. 23 cadets were joined by six adults from 3 Platoon Basingstoke, 4 Platoon Overton and 11 Platoon Eastleigh joined in helping at the event.
More than two thousand participants of all ages ran the course to get a medal, T-shirt and goody bag for competing.
Starting the day at 7am, in time for the first morning race, the cadets helped hand out water bottles, bag drop off and hand out prizes at the finishing point before helping to pack away.
SSI Shane Radford, Detachment Commander for 11 Platoon Eastleigh, said: “It was a real team effort this year as there were so many people taking part. I would like to thank all the cadets and adults who came to help.”
