Members of a York golf club completed a 100km run in a single day.
The challenge, which saw participants run through Heslington and complete ten laps of Fulford Golf Club’s 18-hole course, was organised to mark 100 years of Yorkshire Cancer Research – and raised £3,266 for the charity.
Fulford Golf Club captain Steve Hood, who took part alongside his son Stevie Jon Hood and professional golfer Guy Wills, said: “I never thought that attempting 100km in one day would involve so much training, commitment, and self-discipline.
“This wasn’t just a run, but a tribute to those we have lost, and to those affected by cancer, who were with me every step of the way.”
The trio began the run at 4am, and covered the 100km distance within 16 hours.
Supporters, including members of Holgate Harriers and Sally Hicks from Yorkshire Cancer Research, joined them for the final lap.
The club has pledged to continue supporting the charity throughout 2025.
