"A FRIENDLY RUNNING CLUB THAT WELCOMES ATHLETES OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES"

 

On Saturday, Simon and Katrina took the journey to London, Richmond to then make the journey by foot to Brighton totalling 62.2 miles. Taking in selected highlights of Croydon, West Sussex, East Sussex and finishing on the South Downs at Brighton race course. Simon and Katrina reached half way in around 5hr 30min, but the second half was far more hilly which showed in their finishing time of 13hrs 19 min. Katrina's comments during the race when asked how she felt was "sore" lol. If anyone is thinking of doing a ultra, this one has it all. You can even have a cooked meal at half way (if you can stomach it!) and the best marked course we have ever ran. Their reason for running this distance so far outside their comfort zone was Macmillan Cancer Support in memory of Clive Thomas.
