Shropshire 80k Ultra Run event

The ultra run was a great success. Around 400 entrants took part in one of the three tracks. Our trustees manned checkpoint 6 at The Bog, serving fidget pies, sweets and drinks. It was good to see so many happy faces despite the tough terrain. See our Facebook page for photos and winners.

Congratulations!
