Twelve runners ran 166 miles (between them!) to run around Leicestershire!

The challenge was simple, to sign up and contribute some miles towards running a virtual Leicestershire Round, the 100 mile route devised by the Leicestershire Footpath Association.

By the weekend we were getting up close already to completing the task so I did some research to see what the perimeter of the entire county was... 164 miles - challenge extended!

Between the 11 GG Leicester runners we rocked up to 160 miles for the week, an impressive effort with welcome contributions from everyone! On Tuesday, Nurjehan from GG Haringey signed up to the challenge and left a message "donating" us 10k she had run for a GG Birmingham session during the day! What a stroke of luck, those miles ticked us over the 164 mile mark so between us we've run around the entire county during the week!

Extra marks for Katy who actually went along and found one of the Leicestershire Round signs that form part of the route on one of her runs. Great to see Nicola M and Nicola P back taking part too!

Well done all. Keep getting out there in the fresh air, staying safe but staying fit.
