Hendrick & Eden – Rick Stein Winchester

Hendrik, from Rick Stein Winchester, said after the race, “It was so much fun yesterday, so amazing to see the crowds of support, and so many charities being supported, especially happy that yesterday we saw a very big jump in our fundraiser.
Not much walking going on today, but still buzzing with the achievement, first ever 10km and I did it in 1hr 10…which I found out, is not too bad for an amateur. As soon as I conquered the bridge the rest was plain sailing. Very proud of Eden, he did a massive run, with such a busy work schedule, he still managed to get some training in and go the whole distance on the day.”
Eden from Rick Stein said: “The weather really decided we needed a few more days of summer! Finished in around 5:45, quite a bit longer than I’d have liked, but still happy I saw it all through. I’m putting this partially down to being double layered for most of the run… It was foggy when I drove in!…
