Last weekend saw Justin & Tina Burton together with Natasha Webb take part in the Brighton Marathon, this is the first time this event has gone ahead since the pandemic and it was great seeing so many runners back out and running in this popular race, unfortunately Justin had to pull out due to an injury but both the girls battled on to the end.

THE WORLDS MOST UNFAIR RACE

Richard Moore took part in a rather usual race last week and this is how it works

your running number will be a bingo card. It will have 3 numbers on it. You will also have a unique ball bag (no sniggering back there!). Your aim is to tick off all your numbers. Easy right?

There is a loop of about 2 miles. You run a loop and then pick a number out of a bag in a Bingo style. If you pick one of your numbers, say 13, then you can cross that off and do another loop. If you pick another number then you just head back out onto another loop and repeat.

You will each have your own unique ball bag and chosen balls are not replaced.

You finish the race when you have all 3 of your numbers crossed off. Easy.

So in theory you could finish this race in 6 miles if you are the luckiest person in the world.

You could run forever and just never pick your numbers out.

There will be a 10 hour cut-off. You could break the 100 mile record and still DNF. That would be hilariously unfair wouldn't it? So Richard clocked up 51.75 km!
