Rob Downs recorded a stunning victory in the White Peak Marathon and also smashed his PB for the distance. Having quickly established an early lead, he proceeded to run a solo race for the remaining 25 miles. As the miles rolled by challengers failed to materialise, and Rob strolled into the finish in 2 hours 48 minutes, over 30 minutes faster than his PB!
Ian Smallwood and Gavin Mendham completed the event in a more sedate fashion recording 3 hours 5 mins, and 3 hours 26 mins respectively. The three Wilmslow runners took first place in the team event.
