Who was Mike Feighan
Mike Feighan was a much-loved member of the local running community. He worked in mental health and championed exercise for mental health benefits. He gave so much to the local community in coaching and encouraging people into active pursuits. He was an extremely talented runner in his own right – winning the legendary Grizzly 20 mile trail race five times along with countless other races. Tragically Mike abruptly passed away in 2021 and is much-missed by all that knew him. His running compatriots have determined he needs to be immortalised in an annual running event, and this is it!
Mike would often talk about getting out the house on those rainy and tough days as being the days you remember. He knew how to encourage people to face a little adversity and find out the benefits for themselves.
License pending from the Trail Running Association – the race will be run under UKA rules.
Minimum age for the Fury is 17.
The event will be held on Sunday 24th March 2024.
The 10:30am start will be on the field adjacent to the HQ. Warm up and briefing at 10:20am at the HQ.
