This year our race incorporated the UK 24 Hour Championships. 42 Runners set started out on a sunny Saturday afternoon. 24 Hours later, 29 bold, courageous, fearless competitors triumphed having faced down hours and hours of heavy rain through the night; truly a race of two halves weather-wise. For the third time in the history of our race, a woman won the race; Sarah Funderburk of Mornington Chasers displayed utter focus, grit and brilliance to record 131 Miles. Brian Robb stuck his head down and didn't let the constant rain distract him to finish 1st Man, setting a new PB of 123 Miles. Per Audun Heskestad recorded a remarkable 108 Miles to win 1st Vet 60 at the age of 69. Who inspired us and the competitors alike the most? Unquestionably the remarkable Patricia Seabrook who ran 51 Miles putting 'ageing' into the corner at 84 years young. We pay tribute to the amazing courage and achievements of all the competitors. Results are posted here, you can find individual split times https://my.raceresult.com/307656/
