So our third adventure race took place on Saturday and – as expected – we had another great day. Congratulations to all who took part, especially given the threat of awful weather that hung over them.
Forty people took took on the challenge this year – slow but steady growth year on year has been enouraging (we only had six people in 2013). And the feedback is always heartening. We might be running one of the shorter races in the adventure calendar, but don’t mistake that for easy. Here’s what the winner of our Spirit Race had to say:
“Great event, second year doing it and I’ll be back again next year. Has to be one of the toughest races of the adventure race calendar.”
Check out the results below and the photos on our Facebook page.
And make up your mind today that you’ll be there next year!
