NEW CLASS FOR 2010

Having decided to run two classes for the last time in 2009 (D and W), we have now added a new class for 2010 (and beyond) which we think will prove very popular and competitive.

Class E is being added due to many requests for a class to sit between S and B. Class E will commence at Steyning Bowl and complete at Eastbourne and will be open to those over 15 and under 18 years old.

You are also reminded that there is a “mixed” trophy in class B, which will from now on be awarded to the team that has at least two female team members that completes the furthest distance. If the distance is equal, then the fastest time to that location will be the winner.

Please note also that we have had to raise the entry fee this year to £6 per team member

 

If your company would like to get involved in sponsorship of the event, please ask for our sponsors pack.

We have added as much detail as we can for past winners - see HERE - please let us know if you know any names that are missing.

The 2009 event was another huge success, with much better weather than last year. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the event.

The winners in each class were:

Class A:
Larrikin - 22 hours 8 minutes

Class B:
Europa - 12 hours 15 minutes
Mixed - Orpington Scorpion ESU - 14 hours 6 minutes

Class C:
Excelsior ESU & Arctic Fox ESU - River Adur in 15 hours 41 minutes

Class D:
2nd Ifield - 12 hours 45 minutes

Class S:
4th Uckfield - 5 hours 43 minutes

Class V:
Pegasus - 9 hours 51 minutes

In addition, 12 teams entered and completed the Open class.
