The Strider winning this weeks ‘furthest distance travelled to a race’ award was Paul Nicholls who took part in the Marrakesh Marathon. The race began at 8:00 in freezing temperatures but by 11:00 the temperature had reached 30 degrees. The route offered amazing views of the Atlas Mountains, and took in the extremes of the city, passing through the deprived areas and passing by the palaces of the rich. Paul came in in just under 5 hours.
