The Sunsail ‘A-TEAM’ Runs The Southampton Half

13 February 2017

Long-time Sail 4 Cancer partner Sunsail has become the official sailing partner of the ABP Southampton Half Marathon and will be entering a team of intrepid runners, AKA The ‘A Team’, into the race.  Those of you who grew up in the 1980s will remember the hit TV series ‘The A-Team’ starring George Peppard, Mr-T, Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz.

In 1972 a crack ‘jogging’ unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men and women promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Southampton underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as ‘runners’ of fortune.  If you have a problem – if no one else can help – and if you can find them – maybe you can hire: The Sunsail A-Team.

The Sunsail A Team will be raising funds for Sail 4 Cancer, Sunsail’s official charity.  The Sunsail A Team members include:

• Dee Caffari MBE
• Helena Lucas MBE
• Sarah Ayton OBE
• Harry Speeding
• Graham Bristowe
• Richard Buckingham
• Simon Boulding
• Lucy Black
• Mike Hatch
