History of Porkys

Porkys all began when there was a dispute in a pub between a
couple of, how you would say- ‘larger than life’ characters, on who could run
faster. They both decided to sign up to a half-marathon in Scotland with off
course a wager on the line- a tattoo of a man in a kilt running. The new
trainers where bought the next day and off they went- 3 months of hard graft in
training. It came to the trip over with 4 nights stay in the highlands of
Scotland, not a bad place to be- whiskey certainly did not disappoint. Then the
big day came about, and an eventual champion was crowned. A short trip to
Edinburgh, a tattoo booked and so the birth of porkys run club begun.

It was not until we made it back home that we realised how good the trip was and how much fun we all had. A few months went by, and another half marathon was organised only this time there was 7. Same again- wagers made, strava re-downloaded and training commenced. All finished with a few Personal Bests recorded quick dip in the sea, shut eye we ventured out into the night and joyfully reminisced about the past few months training.
