Storm Ciarán: When will it hit Sussex? What are the forecasts saying?

Will said: “Thanks to our amazing supporters who helped the fundraising team practice what we preach, and to Zurich Community Trust for providing the race entries. Luckily the weather was good and the course was flat so we all made it round in a respectable time.”

The runners each managed to complete the course in less than two hours and raised more than £1,200 for Chailey Heritage Foundation. They decided to undertake a the challenge themselves and took part with around 25,000 runners.
