East End Road Runners Club

Well done to our purples who took on the gruelling 24-hour this weekend celebrating the event’s 10th anniversary, one of our favourite events on our annual race calendar. The soaring summer temperatures tested everyone, but our purples absolutely smashed it! A massive congratulations to our female team and male team who both brought home 1st Place in their respective 6-8 runner team categories. Huge congratulations to the team on organising another fantastic weekend for this special birthday edition and acknowledging all the hard work from your team in making it all come together, the logistics and support in sometimes challenging conditions. We already look forward to returning to Hornchurch Country Park next year!
