In Meriden, a 500 year old cross marks the centre of England, runners had 24 hours to get as far from Meriden as they could travel on foot. Runners were supplied with a race drone gps tracker, any steps away from a direct route were wasted as they result was based on as the crow flies miles. Steve Armstrong took up the challenge at midnight and raced through to past midday before succumbing to injury, but not before he had covered 47.7 as the crow flies. Steve said "Just didn't seem to be my day!".
