46 Marathons in 46 Days

On the afternoon of Saturday 13 May, Rachel Goodfellow, President of the Rotary Club of Sherborne Castles, ended the 38th of her 46 marathons at West Bay where she was greeted and congratulated by Colin Bowditch, the President of the Bridport Rotary Club, other club members and members of the public.

Her route began near Beaminster, heading for Symondsbury, over Colmers Hill, up to and along the coastal path, over Golden Cap, down to Seatown, up and over Thormcombe Beacon, down to Eype and up before finishing along West Bay promenade.

In 2016, as reported in the Bridport News at the time, she completed 26  marathons in 26 days, one of which passed along the coast to Bridport''.

The money raised on this year's marathons will go to the Hidden Needs Trust (Charity Number 1187246) and Rotary Foundation. Details of the trust can be found at www.hiddenneedstrust.org

A collection in support of Rachel's chosen charities was made at the finish by the Rotary Club of Bridport. A donation was also made by the Bridport Club itself.
