Final route amendment to the town centre section for those supporters en route for which we would be hugely grateful. Leaving Sports Club at 1pm. All welcome back there afterwards for much craved Guinness or 7!

About to embark on our penultimate run. Heading up to Coate and back. Big ups to all the support crew who have kept us fed and watered superbly. This doesn’t happen without your help. Thank you. Whatever you can sponsor us would be truly awesome. 👍🏻

Assemble early morning crew! 5am risers with run 10 dispatched. Very thankfully avoiding an overnight between-runs thunderstorm. Very tired legs but spirits still high. 2 to go ✌🏼

Run 8 - THE most fun you can have in Devizes on a Friday night! Huge thanks to the Boon’s Boys mobile disco that followed us around this evening! A slow 10:30/mi pace was mostly attributed to dancing 💃🏻🕺🏻

Whoa we’re halfway there! Run 6 took us down the canal flight to Sells Green. Big cheers to everyone en route and the support crew for the taxi service back.

Overnight update…. The boys absolutely smashed the 1am and 5am runs this morning. Endured some tame early hours banter at the Corny Bin and thick fog in the later run. Sleep in between was attempted but not hugely successful. See you for @quakers_walk_parkrun at 0840

Run 2 completed without too much drama despite @rorybrown91 almost falling in a bush. A more leisurely 10:06/mi pace was adopted after stern words from the skipper about going #toohardtoosoon Time to try and get some sleep before the pre 1am alarm call.

[Boon's Boys @BoysBoon]

….And we’re off!! First run 4.40 miles completed at a brisk 9:09/mi pace. Blown away by the phenomenal support. Thanks to everyone for braving the traffic to join us. Next one due off at 9pm. Why not join us!?

The boys are back with another ridiculous challenge. Running 4.37 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours (the equivalent of two marathons) in and around Devizes all in memory of our great friend Tony Poole.
