After the previous weekend’s busy schedule supporting runners at the marathon and staffing the water station, it was a much quieter week for Barking Roadrunners, with just one athlete in action.
Dawn Curtis took on the Three Forts Challenge, a demanding five-mile trail run featuring a series of tough climbs and changing terrain across the scenic South Downs.
The route passed several iconic landmarks, including Cissbury Ring, Chanctonbury Ring and Devil’s Dyke.
Dawn completed the challenge in a time of 1:06.55, rounding off a solitary but impressive outing for the club.
