Overview
- The Wrekin in Shropshire saw 24 starters attempt 56 laps within 48 hours, yet only Sarah Perry reached the finish.
- Iain Prentice was the final runner still with her before retiring after 41 laps.
- Rules limited stops to 30 minutes in a base hut and prohibited poles, headphones, outside assistance, crew, pacers and supporters.
- Competitors could not leave the course for supplies or sleep, and cold, wet weather accelerated withdrawals across the weekend.
- The event returned after five years under Cockbain Events, with Perry arriving six weeks after a 395-mile women’s record and later drawing praise from INOV8 founder Wayne Edy.
