Race Date: Sunday 14th July 2024
Another successful Dronfield Way relay event, due to the brilliant organisational skills of Rachel Rea, Rob Davies and Vicky Hawkins. Massive thanks must also go out to the volunteers who did the timing and dished out very refreshing cups of Pimms at the end of each leg. Those of us who ran solo were given the opportunity to fill our boots with Pimms and shortbread on 3 separate occasions – what’s not to like!
Each leg is approximately 5 miles making the full distance in the region of 15 miles.
