đ„ What a finish in the womenâs race at the 2026 North Downs Way 50!
With Katie Brooks leading the race, Hannah Rickman moved clear to take the lead around the Botley Hill Aid Station, opening a gap heading into the final stages. But the race was far from decided...
Katie began closing the distance, while Abigail Woolaston was charging along the trail looking incredibly strong.
In a dramatic closing stretch, Abigail surged into the lead to take the win ahead of Hannah. With Katie a close third place.
