Salomon X-Adventure Finale

This year's Salomon On-Day X-Adventure series is over after a hectic climax in Northumbria last weekend but there are still limited places available for the Salomon 36-hour Endurance Race in Scotland on 7/8 September.

The final one-dayer based around Kielder Water combined long mountain-biking stretches with fell runs and a Canadian canoe section with 30 teams from all over the Uk competing.

The eventual winners were Team Horwich - based on a Lancastrian running club - who finished some 21 minutes ahead of nearest rivals, the endearingly named 'One Foot In The Grave' team. Horwich cemented their victory over the tough fell-running sections of the event reportedly introduced after comments that earlier events had been short of challenging running portions, something that worked to the running-orientated winners' advantage.

'We're all over the moon at winning this race,' commented Sarah Gorman of Team Horwich, who's obviously been watching too much soccer, 'and now can't wait to tackle the top teams at the 36-hour event in September'. For a full report on this event, see the Sleepmonsters web site.
