| | 12th Sept 2010 | Yorkshire Off Road Full & Half Marathon Hard challenging event. | Link Adrian Full Chris Half | 12th Sept 2010 | Para 10 Full army kit 10m run with mud and water. 

The Paras’ 10 is a race offering anyone the opportunity to try their hand (and lungs and legs) at the 10 Miler Test. The race was first hosted by The Parachute Regiment in the 90’s in Aldershot but when they moved from there, the event ceased. In 2008 'Pegasus Company’ (aka P Company), The Parachute Regiment's own training & selection wing, revived the race. All proceeds from the event are split equally between Help 4 Heroes and The Parachute Regiment Charities. A great deal of support was provided by these 2 charities to paratroopers injured, and the families of those who sadly did not return in 2006 and 2008 during the Regiment’s last major deployments to Afghanistan.
The event is split into two distinct race categories which appeal to entirely different race audiences;
(1) Running Race: runners tackling a straight 10 mile run in trainers over the P Company 10 miler course.
(2) P Company & Team Challenge: Individuals & teams of 4 attempt to complete the same course carrying a 35 lb Bergen (rucksack) and wearing military-style boots in under 1hr 50mins, the pass time on P Company. | About the race Link Jill | | 19th Sept 2010 | The Ponton Plod 11.5m, 17m or 27m trail race.
