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\u2019s a report from Anthony on how it went:<\/p>\n
\u201cOn 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\u2019re both very pleased to have finished off with our fastest times:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”1920px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/6nations60k.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/copy_A001EB85-38BC-472B-8678-A79DCB3655C9.mp4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout” title_text=”copy_A001EB85-38BC-472B-8678-A79DCB3655C9″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/6nations60k.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/finsihed.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout” title_text=”finsihed” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/6nations60k.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Starting-La-Panadiere.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout” title_text=”Starting-La-Panadiere” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout” sticky_enabled=”0″]So that\u2019s it, Challenge completed!
