HoF member number #5 is Debbie Coolman. Debbie is an example to all club members about commitment, effort and resilience. Not to mention having completed 100 + marathons, and multiple 10 in 10’s.
As part of an amazing year of running in 2019 Debbie completed the early season Ultra Country to Capital (45 miles) and built up to the the Great Barrow Challenge Ten in Ten for the second year in a row. This was interspersed with the the Enigma Week at the knees (7 in 7) for the second year, and 3rd Quadzilla in 3 years.
