July 2025 – Ironman (Leeds)
Josh Browne, one of our loyal band of supporters, was not satisfied with completing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks, or completing the Rob Burrow marathon and wanted to set himself a proper challenge. He signed up for the only Ironman event in the UK in 2025.
For those who don’t appreciate what this means Josh had to swim 3.8 Km (2.4 miles) in Roundhay Park Lake. This was immediately followed by cycling 180 Km (112 miles) round a course to the north of Leeds. Finally, if that wasn’t enough, Josh had to run a full marathon distance of 42.8 Km (26.3 miles).
Josh had trained hard for the event and this showed in his times :
Swim completed in 1 hr 11 min 53 seconds
Cycling completed in 6 hr 49 min 40 seconds
Marathon completed in 3 hr 45 min 49 seconds
Overall time to complete was 12 hr 05 min 06 seconds which placed Josh in 40th out of 134 within his age grouping and 272nd overall (out of 1314 starters).
You can see from Josh’s expression what it felt like to cross the finish line. As well as achieving this amazing personal goal he raised a magnificent £1,226.25 (this figure includes gift aid).
Thank you to Josh and his supporters for this magnificent total.
