2) The Ultimate Run – 25 years on published in the Deep Creek official program(me)

3) Live commentary through 1,000 Tweets in four days @gregiej

4) The French Connection review posted on Sportscene. This includes rob van Bommel’s outstanding video round-up from the closing ceremony

5) 250 1-2 second video clip montage coming soon!

I was honoured and privileged to interview Jon Lugbill, Davey Hearn, Richard Fox and Bill Endicott for the 25 year anniversary. The Ultimate Run. The feature previously included in the official programme. It was wonderful to work with Kent Ford & Lamar Sims, with whom I did the live race commentary for the ’95 Worlds in Nottingham, UK.

Funniest memories from Deep Creek were Jessica Fox appearing to tweet from the start line, Klauss & Peche startline selfie and Vavra’s stylish cross bow (above).
