Headtorches at the Ready
Brian Burdon was our only competitor at the latest No Ego Challenge, taking place at Lambton Castle, a 5 mile event. This event is purely on trail paths and head torches are an absolute must to compete. On the day Brian finished 139th in 56:41, well done that man Results can now be found HERE

Temple Spa Required after Newsam 10 Miler

Start As You Mean To Go On
