THE FINAL FINISHER
One of the moments we love most at the end of our races.

Last weekend, Iain Walker (V70) became the final finisher of the 2026 North Downs Way 100, crossing the line in 29:54:56, just over five minutes inside the 30-hour cut-off.

This was Iain’s third Centurion 100-mile race of the year, where he ran the Thames Path 100 in May, the South Downs Way 100 in June, and has now completed the North Downs Way 100 in August.
The only race left in the Grand Slam is the Autumn 100 in October.

Zoe Smith is the 2026 North Downs Way 100 women’s champion in a time of 20:51:40.

Zoe led the race from start to finish, running strongly throughout all 103 miles from Farnham to Ashford.

After finishing 2nd at this year’s Thames Path 100, it’s fantastic to see Zoe go one better here and take the win at NDW100.

What a location was today for the runners out on course, most arriving in the heat of the day after the hilliest part of the course.

Some enjoyed a drink, ice pole and a sit down before moving on through the course in good spirits!
