17th May, Kendal to Preston 50 mile ultra completed by our 2 BuildForce teams of Ambassadors, mentors, veterans and spouses as a tag relay; completed within 10 hours, despite the incredibly hot day, everyone ran their ‘leg’ with great gusto, speed and a smile!
This incredible journey began in February where we started as strangers but over the months of training, support, banter, new friendships were found; coming together to encourage each other not only physically but mentally to push through, get out there and do the miles.
This weekend, we have all had the best 48 hours together as the Ultra Originals, and will be back next year, fitter and stronger and with more teams!
