On Sunday 7th October over 50 members of the Battalion took on the Cardiff Half Marathon in Afghanistan, where conditions totally differ from what runners experienced in our Nations capital.
This is the final event of the Op TORAL running challenge which has seen 1WG personnel also complete the Newport Marathon and JCP Swansea Half Marathon.
This challenge has been a great opportunity for all involved, but importantly has allowed the battalion deployed on operations to raise money for the Welsh Guards Charity and ABF The Soldiers' Charity Wales, who support servicemen, servicewomen and their families in times of need. It has also given those involved a goal to train to whilst away.
