We are witnessing epic performances this year, Victoria and Robert are each sitting fourth all-time after four stages. Robin (13th) and Alexandra (12th) are not far behind! In the Relay event, the H+P Men’s A1 Relay is on pace to break the all-time record of 11:05:19 set by the Road Scholars in 2012.
To all runners, all the best for the remainder of the week! There are still lots of opportunities and KMs to either make up time or lose ground. Following the off day, the next series of challenges begins with one of the most difficult Stages, a 25.6 km cross country run at the local ski resort. Then following a 10 km time trial, The ENDURrun finishes with the historic Marathon.
