The challenge for the Hastings-based club has been named #Hyrunstheworld and the distance target is 24,910 miles, the idea being that all runners tally up their miles in a bid to raise £10,000 for St Michael’s Hospice. In the style of Phileas Fogg, the club initially aimed to complete the huge running task in 80 days, but they have had so much participation from members that they look likely to complete the mission in half the time. See pictures of some of those who have taken part on this page and the one linked - and get the full story in the Hastings Observer, out on Friday.
