Bridlington Road Runners teams and solo stars sparkle at Endure 24
Members of Bridlington Road Runners headed over to West Yorkshire to take part in what is known as “Glastonbury for Runners” at Bramham Park, near Leeds, to challenge themselves at Endure 24.
The evening before the event is quite a social occasion with runners enjoying the party atmosphere, a nod from the club this year was to Trish Watson who was a huge supporter of the runners at the event whom sadly passed away last year.
The course is an undulating 5 miles of terrain, of all descriptions to test the athlete’s ability, and mental strength which begins promptly at 12pm Saturday and finishes, 24 hours later with runners challenging themselves in Teams, pairs or as a solo runner to complete as many laps as possible in the time given.
For Bridlington Road Runners, Team Sweaty Sole Sisters finished on 32 laps with 160 miles in third place of 40 of the small women teams.
Team Wendy’s Winners finished on 24 laps with 120 miles in 55th place of 76 of the mixed large teams.
On the solo runner front, club chairman Martin Hutchinson finished on 14 laps with 70 Miles, while Kerry Whitehead finished on 13 laps with 65 miles.
Thomas Fynn finished on 12 laps with 60 miles, Andy Long finished on 11 laps with 55 miles, while Jennifer Kilburn and Micah Gibson both finished on 10 laps with 50 miles.
Lucinda Gibson finished on seven laps with 35 miles, and Andy Baker finished on six laps with 30 miles.
