In the early hours of this morning, a determined team from 1 R YORKS crossed the finish line of La Legión — a gruelling 101km endurance race through the mountains of Spain, with over 9,000 ft of elevation.

Despite having just 8 weeks to train, the team placed in the top third of 13,000 finishers — a phenomenal effort, especially considering six of them had never run more than 8 miles before!

Massive congratulations to Maj Berry, Capt Thruston, Pte Bryce, Cpl Reynolds, Cpl Thompson, Pte Booker, Pte Kirby, Pte Andrewartha, Pte Brown, Pte Watts, and Pte Morriss.

Fit to Fight. Proud to Serve. FFTB.
