Anthony Locke’s 6 Nations 60k Challenge

Race 4 at Weymouth Completed

Mar 2, 2026

Race 4 of the 6 Nations 60k challenge was a flat run along the beach front in Weymouth, out and back with about 400 runners. It had a good local feel to it with many local running clubs represented and lots of runners using it as training for the Weymouth Half later in March. Just Rachael and I this week, the rain abated just in time for the start but a strong head wind on the out section made the run a bit more challenging:

I completed the race in 49:22 and Rachael did it in  59:23 which we’re both pretty happy with – we seem to be getting a bit of consistency in our times now. Donations are still coming in regularly and we’re closing in on the £4000 mark but not quite there yet so please donate if you can and hopefully we’ll be able to have reached that milestone as we head off “on tour” to Italy and France.
