100 years on from his famous run at the 1924 Paris Olympics we run again with Eric Liddell. Searchlight Theatre Company this year have dramatized his story on stage, in Paris, at The Royal Albert Hall and at the Edinburgh Festival. There will be extracts of the play brought to life during the week, plus fun and interactive sessions on running the race set before us. Begin to learn how it feels to put your head well back and run with wings on your heels and, what is more, to feel God’s pleasure because of our endeavours.

More details about the production can be found on the Searchlight Theatre website.
