Will currently in 2nd has 367 miles of steps and even though he’s met the finishing total he doesn’t have an end date yet. Poor bugger may still have to run those miles 😱

I think our own Derby Tup fell foul of it and ended up further down the finishers list because he’d not clicked and officially finished. I wonder if there’s any way of alerting Will?

Rosehip Apr 2021 6:39pm, 8 Apr 2021 20,600 posts	0 Rosehip I keep forgetting about this, I'm 40% done on 262 miles, It looks like I've almost climbed up a bit of a hill, hopefully, there'll be a decent view on the other side.
GimmeMedals Apr 2021 6:42pm, 8 Apr 2021 20,659 posts	0 GimmeMedals I'm at 266, so nearby, RH.
