52 brave runners took to the start line for the return of the Blackdown Hill Challenge. The race from Fernhurst Rec to the summit of the highest hill in Sussex and back is a fundraiser for the Pavilion2022 campaign.

Tim Short from Shillinglee smashed the record by five minutes with a time of 30m53. Fastest woman was Caroline Whelan of Dorking & Mole Valley Athletics Club with 43m52. Neither looks old enough but they also qualified for the veterans’ awards!
