The Long Eaton 50 mile and Relay took place 11th June 2011. The event started and finished in Breaston with 24 runners in the solo division and 4 teams of 6 runners each took part in the relay.
Duncan Sadler commented on Runners World forum “Organisation was excellent (especially as this was the first time this race has been run). The organisers and fellow runners were extremely friendly and supportive.
The course itself is about 98% off road, consisting of canal trail, fields, bridle paths, lots of stiles, a few hills and a set of very steep steps!
Refreshment stations all well stocked and manned by enthusiastic volunteers, lots of food and drink cakes/sandwiches etc and a free bowl of soup at the end! Definitely recommended and an ideal first 50 miler for budding Ultra runners.”
Carolyn Hopkinson finished first woman and ultrarunning legend Eleanor Robinson ran to finish third lady. Well done Eleanor!
