Thank you again for such a well organised event - my second 100K! However tough the Challenge, I always appreciated the support and facilities you provide and special thanks to all the volunteers for their kindness and encouragement.

A very special thank you the teams behind the organisation, the volunteers on the day, the first aid crew and the massage therapists. I finally made it into Arundel and I could not have done it without the support at each rest stop.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
