"It was an incredible experience - a very tough challenge mentally and physically but one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. It was so emotional to finally cross the finish line! The event is very well run and the support for challengers is excellent throughout. The memories from that day will stay with me for years to come, as will a number of friends that I made along the way. A truly life-changing event in more ways than one."
