A Running Joke

25th Jan 2010

Kate Owen is one of Leicester's slowest and fattest distance runners.

She has, despite an indulgent lifestyle, managed to complete any number of races, including half-marathons, consistently finishing at the back and having gone a funny colour.  She even did a triathlon once, but the less said about that the better.

Her aim, as Leicester Comedy Festival’s Running Joke (do you see what we did there?), is to cover a double marathon distance (52.4 miles) over the course of the festival, visiting every venue during a show. Sponsorship money will go to the Festival's chosen causes, Amnesty and Prostaid

We’ll be updating our Facebook page with pictures of Kate each day.  If you see her (and we intend to put her in a fluorescent vest so she'll be visible from space) please encourage her along, or better still, make a contribution at:-
