6 Nations 60k – Challenge Completed!

The final race in the 6 Nations 60k Challenge took place on a lovely spring morning on Sunday (15th March) in rural France about 100 miles South East of Paris. The race was called La Panadiere and here’s a report from Anthony on how it went:

“On a lovely cool sunny spring morning in rural France the final race of the 6 Nations 60k challenge happened in a little town called Villemaur sur Vanne. Popular with local running clubs it was the first race of the year for the local running scene so a good turn out from lots of local French running clubs. There were about 500 runners for the 10K, Rachael ran it in 58:45 which is her quickest of the challenge by 1 second (!) and gave her 3rd place in her age group. I ran it in 48:13 which was my quickest time of the challenge and gave me 5th place in my age group. We’re both very pleased to have finished off with our fastest times:

So that’s it, Challenge completed! We’ve had a great time doing this, pleased that our bodies have survived and now looking forward to a rest! A massive thank you to everyone who has supported us with messages and donations. We’re thrilled to have raised almost £6000 (with gift aid) for the two fantastic causes that we’ve chosen to fund raise for and knowing that this will help make a difference to lots of lives has made it all worthwhile.”
