From July 21st to July 28th, 2024, the Desert Falcons took on their very first Strava Run Challenge, and what a week it was! With a team of 14 dedicated runners, including Aby, Chevy, Intan, Is, JJ, Jobai, Joven, Khaled, Lambert, Mahmoud, Mikko, Sridaar, Zakaria, and Gob, we pushed our limits, embraced the heat, and logged some serious miles.
Challenge Overview
The challenge was simple: cover as much distance as possible in a week. The qualifying activities were all about running, and together, our team clocked an impressive 103.9 km with a total time of 15 hours, 19 minutes, and 41 seconds and an elevation gain of 415 meters. The leaderboard was closely contested, but in the end, it was Lambert who emerged victorious with a staggering 28 km under his belt. Khaled wasn’t far behind with 21.4 km, followed by JJ and Gob, both tying at 12 km.
The Winner
Lambert’s dedication and perseverance earned him the top spot, and as a reward, he’ll be receiving a special prize sponsored by our very own Falcon Team Captain. A big congratulations to Lambert for setting the pace and to everyone else for pushing through the challenge!
