← The Joust 24 Hr

Entered as a pair with a friend. The format for this is a continuous relay passing the baton and completing loops of the 5 mile course. 

Race HQ was small but friendly and the facilities were ample. Showers, massage, food and even some stalls selling energy drinks, trail shoes etc.

The aid stations were pretty basic and just had water but as you were back at your camp every 5 miles you were able to stock up on carbs and whatever else you fancied there.

Running through the night was made easier by the addition of a group of 'knights' who volunteered to run with you should you not want to run alone. I imagine this made people feel safe if they needed it.

When 24 hours came round we were both utterly spent but happy and within a few weeks we were talking about when and not if we'd do the Joust again.
