Great Barrow Challenge - Day 5 - 5k, 10k, half marathon, full or ultra marathon

Wed 26th July 2023

A medal with a bright pink ribbon features numbers 1 to 10 in colorful, raised designs. In the background, the numbers are written in various languages. At the bottom, text reads "Great Barrow Challenge" with symbols of a runner, cyclist, and walker. A group of runners in colorful athletic wear gather on a grassy field, facing a speaker who appears to be giving instructions or speaking with a microphone. The background includes a soccer goal and several buildings. The sky is overcast. Two runners on a rural road participate in a race, wearing themed shirts featuring a skull with a crown and the words "Triple Crown." The male runner wears glasses and a hat, while the female runner wears a headband and carries water bottles. Other runners are visible behind them. Two people on a wooded path smile and give thumbs up to the camera while wearing running gear. One wears a bright yellow jacket and the other a dark jacket with leopard-patterned leggings. Trees and a winding road are visible in the background.

Well organised, friendly people, great cakes and coffee at the end. Facilitated my personal challenge of 3 halves in 3 months before I'm 60. Would have preferred a single 13 mile loop rather than retracing steps.
