Haywards Heath Harrier Carl achieves South Downs Way 100 feat
This event organised by Centurion Running started at Matterley Bowl near Winchester and finished at Eastbourne Athletics track, almost entirely following the South Downs Way. The weather was cool and mainly dry with a helping breeze.
The race allows runners to be accompanied by pacers during the last 50 miles and Carl was very grateful to fellow Harriers Katherine Buckeridge, Michael Burke, Karen Thompson and Lydia Levy for helping him through the night and the difficult later stages.
