This will be the fourth edition of the River Arun Marathon from Sussex Trail events and my third attempt. 2015 was my best time but my worst experience with suffering heatstroke and sickness...
I am hoping this time will not be a repeat performance of that year and much more pleasant. Training has not been so great over winter/spring so to have some mieage out on the trails is always a bonus even if my time is not to be the best?!..

Another river medal to add to the set
Shawn finished
Stats and route. No PB this year but 13 minutes slower than my best is not too bad..
Sadly as the cafe has closed it was local beer for the finish with the medal
