As we kick the new year here on Fantha Tracks it’s always good to start with good news, and the efforts of Jez Allinson – aka The Running Stormtrooper – is certainly such a story. Not only did he complete 1000 miles run in 2020, he also smashed through the £25,000 fundraising barrier, with £26,036 currently raised, 185% over the target figure of £14,000 (and you can still contribute by clicking here) meaning in total the Stormtrooper Run project has run over £63,000.

The final 18 miles of his run ended with him being interviewed for the first time by the BBC.
