On 7th June, Di Kipp and Tony Williams took on the 27km at the Sapphire Coast Winter Sun Festival and finished in a little over 3 hours. For those not familiar, it is a challenging course of rugged terrain, coastal forests and stretches of sand. In addition, Di managed to finish as 3rd overall female. Both known to like a trail run or two, they completed 31km the very next day!
