For the latest virtual club challenge, teams had to race over a distance of 55km, the equivalent of running from St James metro station to South Hylton metro station (via the coast). 

The virtual relay route

Members were arranged into teams of 11 runners, with each runner having to run a 5km leg. And to make the event more intriguing, a special guest team was invited along – the TBH Juniors. 

The junior team, consisting of 30 runners, still had to complete the 55km distance, but in shorter legs of between 1 and 2 miles.

And the winning team was…
