Commando Challenge - the event.
See Financial are proud to sponsor "Team 6 Pack" for the 2007 Royal Marines Commando Challenge, a team entered by Southwest One. The charity event takes place every October and is organised by the Royal Marines and the Gemini charitable trust. The gruelling event with a 7 mile course has the competitors running 2 miles to the commando training ground on Woodbury Common, then tackling 12 obstacles cross country over  a further 3 miles, and finally running 2 miles to the finish at Bicton arena. The event raises money for children's charities and organisations throughout the Southwest of England.
