Queensbury Running Club would like to thank the Saltaire Striders for organising and hosting this amazing event.

Massive thank you to the volunteers and public for their words of encouragement as our teams passed them in the very hot weather conditions.

As always QRC members were expecting the unexpected due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness, injuries, to stepping in last minute as reserves, solo journeys heading towards the next leg or even heading towards the finishing line. A massive Congratulations to everyone for participating in this event with determination and resilience.
