40 miler Club

N.B. - This page has been updated to include 2007 results, plus finishers at the Jaguar 21-Jun-2008 event - see  note 10  & names at end of table.

This page commemorates and tabulates all people who have completed the 40 miles.  See general notes at bottom for explanation of data and general assumptions.  Assumptions for some individuals are shown - if anyone can confirm/correct these assumptions, please e-mail me - I will then update/correct this page and source data.

Also available as an Excel Spreadsheet, sorted by order each became a member.

GENERAL NOTES (covering overall assumptions and meaning of data):   

1. This is a total of 284 names (including 24 new members in 2007), assuming all my assumptions are correct. 
    
2. All times are rounded to the nearest minute, even when seconds are recorded in data for that event.
      
3. Where an individual has completed the 40 miles in more than one year, the lowest recorded time is used.
    
4. I have not distinguished between runners, runners/walkers, walker/runners and walkers (unless they were record holders), but times give a strong clue:
       - Runners times recorded are between  05:22 and 14:50
       - Walkers times recorded are between  09:39 and 16:00
   Some Runners in above were probably really Runner/Walkers. As from 2007 the unners, runners/walkers, walker/runners and walkers term was dropped, and all are recorded as Individuals .
   
5. Most of the data to derive above was taken from the annual challenge results pages on this website.
    
6. "Bean, Cyril" , "Brandon, Bob" and "Green, John" are added as 40 milers from other data. 
    
7. "Tonkinson, Frank" , "French, Justin" , "Lewis, David" and "Shelton, Doug" walked the 40 miles as a group a day before the Challenge in 1999.  The time recorded is approximate time as recalled by Frank Tonkinson.
    
8. In 2007, 47 individuals completed the 40 miles.  Of these we added 24 new members, 14 people improved on their earlier times (mostly 2006), and 9 people again achieved 40 miles, but in more time (sometimes only just, and sometimes because this time they walked when previously they ran).
    
9. One person ("Halford, Dave") has now completed 40 miles on 7 occasions, and Two people  ("Townend, Martin" and   "Swift, Mark") have now completed 40 miles on 6 occasions.
    
10. The last six names on the list were the finishers in a team from Jaguar who completed the 40 miles, start & finish at the Bull and Butcher, Corley Moor at midnight on one of the wettest days in 2008!  [Note: These names are for now at the bottom of the table.  When the list is updated for the September Challenge event, they will be put in the alphabetic list with everyone else]

Also available as an Excel Spreadsheet, sorted by order each became a member.  You may like to use this to sort or analyse in other ways, or to help check the data.
