An impressive second place for Martin Bailey at the Millenium Way ultra. The race is a 41 mile race across Staffordshire, Newport to Burton Upon Trent, pretty flat, mostly on trails or along canals. Nevertheless it wasn’t all easy going as there was a significant amount of mud. Also completing the race for Newcastle were, Jane Holt, Maria Bailey and Emma Deakes.
