Predictathon 2015 Results!

Congratulations to the 40 Striders who finished the Predictathon 2015! A big thank you also the marshalls who gave up their time to help make the event possible and keep everyone safe out on the course: Isobel, Jan, Moe and Steve.
The winners: Karen & Philip
As ever, there was the full spread of predicting ability. Competition for the worst prediction was just as tough as that for the best. This year's wooden spoon was given to Hannah who was at something of a disadvantage having never ever run the course before.

Second place: Rachel & Andrew

Third place: Chris and wooden spoon winner Hannah
