Endurance was the name of the game this weekend as Dawn, Steve P and Zoe represented Carn Runners at The Hourglass Event, taking on lap after lap around the Royal Cornwall Showground.
Unlike a traditional race with a single finish line, The Hourglass Event is all about setting your own challenge. Runners complete as many laps as they choose, making it the perfect opportunity to build endurance, test pacing and spend hours on your feet.
Steve Reaches 20 Miles
A huge congratulations to Steve P, who powered through an impressive 10 laps, covering a total of 20 miles.
Running that distance requires not only physical fitness but also real mental strength, especially on a lapped course where it’s all about keeping focused and sticking to your plan.
It was another fantastic endurance effort from Steve.
Dawn and Zoe Smash 14 Miles
Joining Steve on the course were Dawn and Zoe, who both completed 7 laps, clocking up an excellent 14 miles each.
Long training runs like these are invaluable, whether preparing for upcoming races or simply building endurance and confidence.
Both runners showed fantastic determination throughout, completing their chosen distance with plenty to be proud of.
Endurance, Determination and Club Spirit
Events like The Hourglass are a little different from your typical race.
There’s no pressure to chase a particular finish time. Instead, it’s about challenging yourself, enjoying the atmosphere and seeing just how far you can go.
Whether it was 20 miles or 14 miles, every lap represented another step forward and another fantastic achievement.
Another Great Weekend for Carn Runners
It was brilliant to see Carn Runners represented at yet another unique endurance event.
A massive well done to Steve P on completing 20 miles, and to Dawn and Zoe for both smashing 14 miles around the Royal Cornwall Showground.
Outstanding running from all three of you 👏💙💛
