James one of the Delamere Dairy team who has been drinking goats’ milk almost every day for his entire life, ran 13 miles for the Bath Half marathon last Sunday (7th March). He ran to promote the health benefits of goats’ milk and to raise money on behalf of Delamere Dairy’s chosen charities, ‘The Childrens’ Adventure Farm Trust’ and ‘Kids for Kids’.
James began training a few weeks before, by running around the farm, though he believes the secret to his fast pace of 1 hour 36 minutes was due to his daily glass of goats’ milk. Many professional athletes are beginning to recognise the health benefits of goats’ milk, as it’s easier to digest and less mucous forming than cows’ milk, which can help to improve athletic performance.
Delamere Dairy has made a donation to help support its charities as well as supporting the event on the day by offering a free carton of goats’ milk to the 12,000 runners who successfully completed the race.
If you are an athlete or would just like to try the health benefits of goats’ milk for yourself or your pet, then please visit delameredairy.co.uk or follow this link to claim a free voucher for a carton of Delamere goats’ milk.

Well done James – terrific form! Having tasted your delicious goat’s milk and goat’s cheese I am not surprised you ran so well! I cannot begin to thank you enough for all you are doing to help Kids for Kids – this is the year to really make a difference. There is serious drought and yet in the 51 Kids for Kids Villages children are drinking goat’s milk – just like you! But we are needed by many more children so what you have done to highlight the need is just brilliant! Wouldn’t it have been brilliant if every runner donated a goat – just £22! What a difference that would make! Very many thanks and CONGRATULATIONS!
