Bedale runner Nick Wilson has completed the demanding 100km Race to the Stones endurance event in Oxfordshire.
This was part of the 2021 Threshold Trail Series, which offers a number of races for experienced entrants.
The member of Hambleton Athletics and Running Club (HARC) chose the 100km course along the Ridgeway, that navigates Wayland’s Smithy, the famous Uffington White Horse, and Barbury Castle, before finally reaching the iconic Avebury Stone Circle.
The route follows in the footsteps of travellers from more than 5,000 years ago and takes in views of Bronze Age hill forts, Neolithic burial chambers, and Roman river crossings.
Nick completed the 62-mile course in a time of 14:43:32, placing him 452nd out of 1,281 finishers.
Sara Sherwood, from HARC, said: “Hambleton Athletics and Running Club would like to congratulate Nick on completing this hugely demanding and challenging ultra-marathon.
“We can’t wait to see what he takes on next!”
