Run Wednesdays runners Sally Mason, Gina Mo Elli, Mika Dave and Evelyn Griffiths achieved success in the Mid Sussex Marathon.

The mixed terrain running event took place over the May Bank Holiday weekend, consisting of two ten mile races and a 10k race, allowing runners to complete the marathon distance over the three days.

The event takes place near Haywards Heath and includes runs through Sussex woodland, roads and hills.

Evelyn Griffiths has been celebrating after finishing 1st place in her gender/age category.

Evelyn, a popular member of the Eastbourne-based group, shared: “What better way to spend the Bank Holiday Weekend than running three races in thee days!

"Like most bank holidays we had a mix of weather but none wetter and muddier than the Monday! It did however make it more memorable.

"Organisation and marshalling were second to none. It was so good we may even do it all again in 2025.

“Special shout out too to other members of Run Wednesdays who came out to support us!"
