Two runners from Holland Sports competed in the recent North Downs Way 50 mile race, both achieving podium places after this gruelling effort along the beautiful and undulating long distance trail. Well done to Ben Hall (2nd place in 6 hours and 24 minutes) and Paddy Wightman (3rd place in 6 hours and 49 minutes) who excel over this distance and have the grit to dig in when the going gets tough and it really starts to ‘sting’.

Both athletes train with the senior squad at Holland Sports Athletics Club, excelling over a remarkable range of distances from 3km to 100 mile efforts. If you are interested in running further than a marathon, and want to run in a supportive, positive environment, pop along to Holland Sports Athletics Club and speak to one of the senior coaches on a session night or e-mail Neil Danby through the club website.
