A chance to get together virtually, mixed ability teams of five covered the 26.2-mile distance, each having to run five legs (2x5k and 3x10k).

Runners from all four sites - Skegness, Spilsby, Boston and Horncastle - were equally paced via their 5k times, put together by organiser Leanne Rickett.

Competitors could organise their team whichever way they wanted but had to let each other know when they were back.

SADRC have been using their Facebook platform to try to keep members motivated.
