Two pub managers have completed a 28-mile run and raised over £3,000 in aid of Scotty's Little Soldiers.<\/p>\n
Alex Turner and Jake Smith jogged between the two bars they work at in order to collect money for the military charity, the Lynn News reports.<\/p>\n
However, the pair had to travel two miles further than they expected to after taking a wrong turn.<\/p>\n
Mr Turner told the news provider: "Both Jake and myself are from military backgrounds and wanted to do something. The run was easier than we expected, but we did suffer for a couple of days afterwards."<\/p>\n
He added he was happy to collect so much money for the good cause.<\/p>\n
The charity was set up by Nikki Scott after her husband was killed on a tour of duty in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
It seeks to help any children who are affected by the death of a parent who was serving in the British Armed Forces.<\/p>\n
