It was a busy weekend in the calendar for the Peel Road runners
This weekend was the return of Equinox 24 , a 10k circuit round the picturesque setting of Belvoir castle. Entrants are tasked to complete as many laps of the course as possible during the 24 hours entering in either a team or solo . Overnight saw the entrants take on some very tough wind and rain so a fantastic achievement all round. Results are below
Helen and Neal Dempsey completed an amazing 6 laps of the course each and finished 20th out of 39 teams
Team Sophies Conga consisting of Sophie Galloway , Jo Insley and Andy Pickard who completed 14 laps as a team . Amazing effort
Team Club of the year Allen King , Billy King ,Mark Boffey and Chris Bennett completed an incredible 16 laps
Claire and Lee Guffick ticked off a fabulous four laps each, great work both !
Stuart Hatton braved the course solo completing a fantastic 5 laps
There is also an option at Equinox to do a lap of the course one in the day and one on the night . Alison Dolphin ,Wendy Bowyer , Roger Eastaff, Sarah French and Steve Andrews all smashed this challenge and of course had a great laugh whilst doing so.
Well done to you all ! Lets see if we can get a record number of entrants for the club next year.
