After the recent weather last weekend’s Steyning Stinger full and half trail marathon turned out to be a real tough mud fest – didn’t stop VRUKs Jonathan Wilkes taking 8 minutes off his off-road marathon PB with a time of 4:19, 60th of 197 finishers. An excellent run from vegan Robert Crussell finishing 27th in 3:57 and big well done to Jane Wilkes finishing the half marathon despite only being back running for a couple of weeks after having to lay off with a stress fracture.

Member Celine Wilcock (running for Tring RC) finished in 5:06 summing up the mud and wind and challenging course:

“Put it this way, we were well and truly stung!!!!”

Will Jane and Jonathan’s shoes ever be clean again!
