Saturday 15th January – 7:30am

The Doughnut Dash 🍩 is as much about eating doughnuts as it is running.  This is a 6 hour timed event where entrants choose to run anything from 5km to a marathon or beyond.  Each lap is 5.3km (3.28 mile),and is run on an out and back, off road course along the beautiful river Thames.

Our fabulous run leaders and C25K initiators- Michelle Hollands & Julie Lewis-Clements headed up the road on Saturday to run a half marathon distance, marking the finalè event to complete their 12 half marathons in 12 months challenge.  With the weather blowing a hoolie and lashing it down with rain, this didn’t deter the unstoppable duo from succeeding in their amazing challenge.

Both ladies have had their fair share of ups, downs and injuries along the way but it is a huge delight to see their big smiles as they lift their challenge certificates and 12 in 12 medals 🥇

These amazing ladies then were seen marshalling and running at the following days cross country event 😱 You’re both truly awesome, inspirational and showcase our fabulous black and red spirit 😎

We can’t wait to see what plans you have this year, no doubt it will involve a lot of mud and miles 😉
