Left Hand Giant Run Club Movie Nights : CABOOSE

Left Hand Giant Run Club Movie Nights : CABOOSE

Left Hand Giant Run Club Movie Nights

SIGN UP HERE

About this event

This October, join our pop-up film night hosted by Left Hand Giant. Meet the Tom Reynolds for an evening of trail runs, great adventures, and drinks at the brewery.

Optional trail run 9km (departs 6:15pm sharp)
Film only- arrive by 7:15 pm


About the film
A story about running, mental health & one person’s search for sanctuary in one of the harshest environments on earth.

Caboose is set against the backdrop of an unsupported, unsanctioned 500km team relay running race across the Atacama Desert called The Speed Project.

For Tom Reynolds – a self-confessed slow runner from Manchester, UK – it reflects a reckless desire for adventure following a tumultuous 12 months full of loss, grief and mental health struggles.

Is entering an underground event based around speed, created by maverick race organizer Nils Arend, the perfect next step towards healing and recovery?

Or, will a knee-jerk decision to attempt to run 500km across the driest desert on earth, surrounded by high-speed trucks and hostile police, end in tears?

--

A £5 ticket will get you:

  • A 1/3 of beer from Left Hand Giant after the run or before the film

  • Optional trail run 9km

  • Donation to CALM Charity ( https://www.thecalmzone.net/)

    Plan of action for the evening:

Launch of the ‘Clubs For Community’ Tee

IT’S ON,

IT’S HAPPENING!

Join us on Tuesday March 12th for the launch of the ‘Clubs For Community’ Tee. 

Lace ‘em up and let’s do community ‘capital C’ style.

All abilities welcome with 2 distance options, and then the LHG bar to treat yourself to a craft beer at the end. Have we landed in running heaven? We’re answering yes!

Ponnek running will be bringing  some tees to sell on the night at the normal price of £35. There’s still time to save yourself a fiver by ordering now for £30. Drop a note at the checkout saying ‘collect at launch’ if you want to collect on the night. We’ll just note your name and bring your tee. The code GUESTFREESHIP will remove any shipping costs if that is what you’re opting for. 

WE’RE EXCITED.

YOU SHOULD BE TOO.


This collaboration demonstrates the community element that lies at the heart of the Ponnek and LHGRC ethos’. 

The blue and pink lines to the rear symbolise these two communities working together as one. 


Made from 60% Recycled Polyester / 40% Cotton, with an oversized unisex fit and a super lightweight 160gsm. 

This is going to be your new comfiest social-miles / training-top straight from the box.

It’s available to pre-order now via the Ponnek shop, and you can save yourself a couple of quid by jumping on board early. 

Thanks to everyone for forming two amazing communities and being a part of this coming together as one
