This weekend, Richmondshire RUFCโ€™s very own Ryan Robinson is taking on an incredible challenge as he tackles a 70-mile ultramarathon on Saturday 13th June.

Anyone who knows Robbo will know that determination, resilience and a refusal to quit are all part of his makeup, but even by his standards this is a phenomenal test of both body and mind.

Everyone at Richmondshire RUFC would like to wish Robbo the very best of luck. Weโ€™re all behind you and canโ€™t wait to see you smash it!
