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

This is a total of 439 names , assuming all my assumptions are correct.
All times are rounded to the nearest minute, even when seconds are recorded in data for that event.
Where an individual has completed the 40 miles in more than one year, the lowest recorded time is used.
I have not distinguished between runners, runners/walkers, walker/runners and walkers (unless they were record holders or event winners), 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 runners, runners/walkers, walker/runners and walkers term was dropped, and all are recorded as Individuals .
Most of the data to derive above was taken from the annual challenge results pages on this website.
"Bean, Cyril" , "Brandon, Bob" and "Green, John" are added as 40 milers from other data.
"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.
In 2009, 136 individuals completed the 40 miles. Of these we added 107 new members, 21 people improved on their earlier times (mostly 2008), and 8 people again achieved 40 miles, but in more time (sometimes only just, and sometimes because this time they walked when previously they ran).
One person ("Swift, Mark") has now completed 40 miles on 9 occasions, and One person ("Townend, Martin") has now completed 40 miles on 7 occasions, and Two people ("Halford, Dave" & Wade, Anne") have now completed 40 miles on 6 occasions.

Two people ("Ibison, Peter;" & "Kacarevic, George;") have achieved 5 times, and George should be watched by all the above because he has completed all 5 in the last five consecutive years, and beat his own record again this year with a time of 09:17! What is more, George did this walking, and therefore beat the previous walking record of 9:39 established in 1999, and unbeaten up to 2007 when we stopped officially reporting a walking record.
