"Sophie tests the legs ", Stort 30 miles UK Trail Ultra Race - Oct 29th 2016

A lot of running has been happening in Belgrave recently, which can hopefully mean some good teams out in future key races.  Sophie, Always the humble runner ( use to quote " I won't do off-road") along with many others. I have started to encourage the team to now provide us race successes to share with the team on social media.  One recently to add:Author: Sophie CarterThe course for Stort 30 was an out and back race along the River Stort. Some navigating and crossing roads. This was officially my first ever ultra to complete and less than 12 hours after my Mum passed away.  All I wanted to do was run...after a conservative start I settled into a pace and rhythm and pretty much stuck with it. Completing the 30 miles off road course in 3.39 minutes, coming in first lady 7 minutes ahead of ultra great Gemma Carter and setting a new ladies course record by 4 minutes and also being crowned UK Trail running champion for Middle Distance. I shall always remember the race in memory of my Mum. sophie-stort-30
