RAF Serviceman runs 602km to raise money for Big Salute
An RAF serviceman, based in Cyprus, has completed 14 marathons in as many days to raise money for the BFBS Big Salute.
Corporal Chris Moss, who’s based at RAF Akrotiri, spent two weeks running around the Republic of Cyprus – on his 602-kilometre endurance run.
Chris started his run in Ayios Nikolaos, with his route taking him along hundreds of kilometres of coastal roads and tracks, the beautiful rugged Akamas Peninsular and extreme climbs on isolated mountain passes. Chris also ran the Paphos and Limassol marathons as part of his challenge.
