The other ‘Bulldogs’ in the race were Roger Williams and Ros Hicks. Amoungst other local runners was Ryan Allsop from St Martin’s. One of the doctors researching CF said that “we are close to finding a treatment for the condition”. The joint winners were Chris Ledgard and Bob Brown. One an employee of the BBC, the other an enthusiast who had run 50 miles each day for 67 days around Australia. The Tresco website will be the first to publish further infomation on the race.
