Steve Armstrong formed a one man team and Martin Connell, John Armstrong and Kareen Porschke formed part of an eight man team that competed in the Adidas Thunder Run. The race starts at noon on the Saturday and finishes at noon on the Sunday with the team members taking turns to run the 10k cross country loop around Catton Park, Walton on Trent. Steve Armstrong finished 33rd in is category after finishing 10 laps despite suffering from dehydration. Steve said "Struggled this year. Felt quite ill after 3 laps and plodded on to manage 10 laps and then retired. To explain the T-shirt - people running solo used to get little yellow solo signs but not any more so I made my own. The support you get as a solo runner is amazing and is really needed to get you round the course and through the night." Martin's team completed 25 laps and finished 66th in their category. A great effort in challenging conditions.
