Joss Naylor Lakeland Challenge – Fri 11 Aug
From Andrew Merrick… I vaguely recall a running friend describing the Joss Naylor Lakeland Challenge as a Bob Graham for old gits… so it felt like it was probably something for me, given that the time allowed increases with age. Below 55, you get 12 hours as a man and 14 hours as a woman […]
