Four teams of students set off across Dartmoor’s toughest terrain to tackle either the 35-, 45-, or 55-mile course.

It is the first time since 2002 that the school has entered a team for all three challenges.

All of the teams crossed the line before 5pm on the final day, completing the course in 11 hours 44 minutes (45-mile team), 12 hours 20 minutes (35B-team), 13 hours 15 minutes (35A-team) and 16 hours 30 minutes (55-mile team).

College principal James Ingham-Hill said: “We are extremely proud of the students that have worked for months training for this event. It takes a huge amount of commitment, courage and resilience to complete the challenge and they all did fantastically well. They are all a credit to the College.”
