The Bananaman Chase in Milton Keynes
This years Milton Keynes Bananaman Chase took place in the beautiful setting of Willen Lake on Sunday 21 September 2008. It was a beautiful Indian Summers day which really added to the fantastic atmosphere. We are hoping to raise a magnificent £50,000 to fund our life-saving blood cancer research. So thank you to all our runners and everyone that made the day possible.
Our Milton Keynes 2007 event was a huge success, but this year was even bigger. With over 500 runners and 200 junior runners, it was a spectacular sight to see Willen Lake filled with the Banana Army bright yellow T-shirts! Our ten top bananas and a live band added to the fun by motivating our army of runners. The bananas have all been affected by a blood cancer and so highlight the importance of events like this by sharing their personal experiences.
Along with the Bananaman Chase 10k, we were delighted to host a Junior Bananaman Chase 2k for children under 12. This meant the whole family could come along for a great day out!
By taking part in this years Bananaman Chase's, you have helped us raise the £100 million we need to commit to essential research over the next five years.
