In January 2021 athletes and parents from the U11 and U13 endurance training groups were set a challenge to Virtually run, walk, cycle or row their way from Land’s End to John O’Groats. Our route would cover 1788 km and was open to all family members.
We set off on the 18th of January from Land’s End and each day’s efforts were recorded and plotted on our progress map. It took us 11 days to reach John O’Groats, arriving on the 28th of January. We then all agreed that we should do the return challenge from John O’Groats to Land’s End so we set off on the 28th of January and arrived back on the 7th of February.
A total of 19 athletes and 24 parents took part in the challenge and 416 different entries were completed by SAC athletes and families.
Congratulations and well done to all involved.
