Oh, hear ye, hear ye, a tale to be told
Of Endurancel Life’s race, so fierce and bold
In Northumberland, where skies were grey
And winds did howl on this cold winter’s day.
Sarah Wann, with streak so bright and grand,
Completed the ultra, with heart and hand,
In six hours, thirty-seven minutes, and thirty-eight,
A feat of strength, a victory to celebrate.
Lizzie Warnes battled on, with fierce might,
And completed the marathon in six hours and thirty,
With tough conditions, and weather so bleak,
Her spirit and resolve did never weaken.
Eliza Gutteridge and Lorna Dagg,
In the half marathon, did shine and brag
Of times so great, with strides so strong,
Two hours, thirteen and three, and two hours, twenty-three and two, they did belong.
Ben Talks, with valiant heart and soul,
Completed the half marathon, with great control,
In two hours, and fifty-seven seconds,
A triumph of will, of spirit so resplendent.
Liam Blatch, with fervor and might,
Followed close, with all his might,
In two hours, four minutes, and four,
His victory and spirit, to always adore.
Niran Patel and Oli Howell,
In the half marathon, did not cower nor cower,
With a knee injury, they pushed on and on,
And completed the race, in two hours, twenty-eight minutes, and forty-seven seconds, with hearts so strong.
Victoria Thompson, with flying feet,
Battled the winds and cold, with spirit so neat,
In the 10k race, she did soar,
And finished in one hour, three minutes, and fifty-three, to forever adore.
Thus, the Endurancelife race was done,
And with it, tales of glory and battles won.
Congratulations to all who dared to try,
For in their hearts, they shall forever fly.
