The heavy rain in the days leading up to the race put some of the track under water, but this did not dampen the spirits at all.

Some great times were achieved in the conditions and extra congratulations went to Keith Ranson, Lynsey Ballans, Samantha Creek and Sarah Burton who were all running this distance off road for the first time.
