The 2009 challenge was held on 8th August and was a great success. In contrast to last year we had fantastic weather: sunshine and a slight cool breeze. All teams successfully finished the course.
Thank you to all who took part and all those involved in the organisation. It is not really a race, just a fun event, but if you are interested we do have a list of finish times. C'est La Vie were first home in a new record time of 6 hours 52 minutes.
Here is a comment from one of the 2009 competitors:
"A brilliant weekend. Really enjoyed the day and seeing the other forum-ites. I've been up and down stairs once so my knees do still work a little! Already looking forward to next year's event. Will aim to beat our finishing place. (My team came last! boo hoo) but was still proud of place within such an elite field. Huge thanks to OVMRO, for such a well organised event, and to the many volunteers that gave up their time to register, marshall on the hills etc. Not forgetting, thanks for the goodie bag, nice mug. Cheers, Jude"

On 9th August 2008 the team held the first Oggie 8 challenge. The weather was truly atrocious: high winds, driving rain and extensive hill fog. Nevertheless the event was a great success. Well done and a big thank you to all who took part.
