Nick and Sallie Holt
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. Nick and Sallie Holt set off on this daunting task, completing over 57 as the crow flies miles. After pulling out Sallie said "Been trying to walk it off so we could run again since about 9 this morning, but it was only getting worse, so we decided to do the sensible thing and call time. So disappointed but, we did Escape and in trying to get what we wanted to achieve, I ran further than I ever have before. Body just said no more this time! But best of all we've received so many generous donations this year for Love, Jasmine and all the wonderful work they do. Thanks everyone for their encouragement and generosity.". Sallie and Nick have raised over £1750 so far.
