THE RECORD

The female team absolutely destroyed the previous record with over an hour spare!

This goes to show the quality of the runners and their determination. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, with a few hiccups, injuries and last minute changes. Captained by the amazing Laura James, the team delivered an impeccable race to reach 346.24km.

A distance that won’t be beaten in a hurry.
