Richard Webster entered Britain's longest and toughest non-stop running race. The Grand Union Canal Race (GUCR) is run from the centre of Birmingham to the centre of London along the Grand Union Canal. Competitors are required to complete the 145 mile distance within the time limit of 45 hours and are not permitted to stop for more than 40 minutes at a time. Richard came home in an incredible 14th place in 34 hours 41 minutes and described the event as "the hardest thing I have done". Only 53 of the 92 entrants completed the race.
