This race was part of a free championship called Runfurther, there are 12 races in the championship and you need to run 4 to qualify. This year Debbie competed in Haworth hobble, Fellsman, High Peak 40 and the Warrington Way, and was awarded 2nd lady overall in the championship! This is an amazing achievement as all of these races are ultra races, so longer than 26 miles! Well done Debbie, this is well deserved.
