Twenty seven Sphinx AC ‘runners’ spread across thirteen teams took part in this undulating event in extremely warm conditions.
In a very close battle, the ladies team (The Spice Girls) took 3rd place behind Bern, Ashley, Janine and Theresa’s team (Six Below Zero) but the overall winners were Ben Orme‘s Hillie’s Heroes. Paul Bergin and Dave Kelly‘s team – Pauline’s Fallen Over Again – started off at a great pace but faded badly (no change there then Bergs!).
