The ‘ultimate walking challenge’ of 100km in under 30 hours saw only 150 people finish the course out of more than 550 entrants on June 22-23.

Mark Rogers, 35, a personal trainer at the fitness and golf club, who crossed the finish line with Matt Killick, 30, a member of the gym, said: “There were various injuries.

“Helen’s skin had been taken off the back of her heel after getting blisters.”
