While the course is a physical challenge for many, the sense of camaraderie and community spirit felt on the day is something that makes this much-loved event incredibly popular among people of all ages and fitness levels.

Ian May, a local hospice supporter, said: “I take part every year and I enjoy it just as much now as the first time I did it!

“It’s always such great fun and a lovely way for me to give something back to the hospice after they supported my grandfather and several close family friends in their final days.

“The care they received both at home and at the hospice was exceptional and something that my family and I will always be grateful for. Really, completing Mission: Unbreakable is just a drop in the ocean in comparison.”
