Claire's Thames Trot Ultra 50 mile run

Created by Alison 10 years ago
I ran the Thames Trot Ultra 50 mile trail run on 1st February 2014 to continue my fundraising on behalf of Greenwich and Bexley Community Hospice. This was not just as a thank you for the amazing care and support we received during an extremely difficult time in our lives but also as an effort to help make a difference to others in the future. The Thames Trot Ultra 50 is a 50 mile trail run from a pub in Oxford to a pub in Henley along the Thames path. Unfortunately quite a lot of this was under water due to the huge amount of rain that has fallen over the last few months. It was a tough race but I managed to complete it inside the all important 11 hours. Following 5 check points and adding 5 miles to the final section getting lost in the dark I came in at 10 hours 47 minutes and felt AMAZING! Thank you to everyone who sponsored me to help raise essential funds for the Greenwich and Bexley Community Hospice.
