Ekiden relay – July 2024

What a great club day out with great results too!
Our vet mens team were defending their title for the third year in a row and they didn’t make easy work of it and kept us all on tenterhooks with the lead changing on each leg, but they dug in deep and managed a win over the marathon distance by only 46 seconds!!
Our other team also had a great result by finishing 4th mixed team out of 69 teams.

The course has been changed from last year and all the legs were slightly longer than the previous year.
There were 189 teams in total.
