The Hearts and Heroes endurance challenge is an event with a difference - it's the only major challenge that can be completed in 12 hours and you can set your own personal challenge - choose to walk or run 12, 21 or 29 miles.
Taking place on Saturday, 14 May and supporting Poppyscotland and Hearts and Balls, the route follows the stunning Southern Upland Way from St Mary's Loch to Melrose. Once you reach Melrose you can party the night away with a 3 course feast, live music and a prize giving celebration at the Greenyards Rugby Ground.
Hundreds of Armed Forces veterans and injured rugby players have benefited in previous years from this event but sadly many more need your help. Follow your heart and be a hero in 2011.
