Centurion South Downs Way 100 Miles
Although publicly admitting this was a massive endurance challenge, Kerry Surkiitt successfully completed another 100 Mile Trail Ultra Run. This event started in Winchester (Hampshire) & finished in Eastbourne (East Sussex) along the complete 100 Mile distance of the South Downs Way.
Individuals must qualify for this event by having recently successfully completed the minimum of a 50 Mile Ultra. The South Downs course includes 15% road & 85% trail with an overall elevation of 3,800 metres. The field is limited to 500 entrants.
The weather on the day was “ideal” & Kerry finished in a time of 29 Hrs 55 Mins 32 Secs in position 300. Over 100 competitors failed to complete the distance. Kerry recognised that running a 100 mile run just 3 weeks after another race of the same distance was probably not such a good idea. In view of this, Kerry has decided to wait 3 weeks before competing in her next Ultra event of a mere 36 Miles!
