Success stories from 2010
Marathon des Sables, 2010
Leo Avery, from Ticehurst, East Sussex undertook the 
Marathon des Sables in April and ran in the Hastings Half as part of his training. The Marathon des Sables takes place over 7 days across the Sahara desert. Runners have to cover 155 miles in temperatures of up to 120°F, carrying all their own kit, including a week’s supply of food. Leo did amazingly well, coming 193 out of almost 1,000 entrants. He has raised £11,600!
24 Hour Runs - 31st July - 1st August
Two teams took part in gruelling 24 hour runs for St Michael’s Hospice at the end of July. A team from Hastings Runners, organised by Dave Strachan, ran in relay from Hastings Old Town to St Leonards and back over a 24 hour period, including a marathon distance covered by two runners during the night. They raised a wonderful £1,000!
Lee Wasden, Kevin Scoles, Mick Cooke, Donna Smith, Andy Seward, Huw Brown, James Dunn and Jamie Lamb all took part in the 24 Hour Thunder Run on the same weekend and their sponsorship has also topped the £1,000 mark.
Well done and thank you to these fit, brave souls who gave up their weekend for us!
Bexhill Lions Roaring Success
Following the overwhelming success of the Bexhill Lions Triathlon in May, they were able to donate a fantastic £2,500 to the Hospice, being part of the proceeds from the event. This was a standard sprint distance triathlon with options for relay team sprint and a young athletes section too. It was wonderfully organised and they are doing it all again next year - 29th May 2011!
