On the 8th of April Colour Sergeant Nabin Rai and Sergeant Shankar Magar both from The First Battalion, The Royal Gurkha Rifles along with other team members currently serving with Mission Ready Training Centre (MRTC) organised a 5km Doko Race & Fun Run' at Bassingbourn Barracks, Royston, Cambridgeshire.
The event was bought together to generate support and raise funds for the Gurkha Welfare Trust (GWT) and Unit Welfare MRTC. The event gave a rare opportunity for others outside of the Brigade of Gurkhas to experience carrying a Doko on a run, and for the team to talk and share knowledge of Gurkha and Nepalese culture and history.
