2025 LDWA 100 – Richard Brown and Sandra Brown

It was rather lovely to meet the inspirational Richard and Sandra after they had completed the event, thanks to Elaine for mentioning their great achievement in completing so many walks of 100 miles or more. Below is the text that I put on the LDWA’s Facebook page:

“The amazing Richard and Sandra Brown after completing the Flower of Suffolk 100.

This is Richard’s 150th 100 mile (or more!) event and Sandra’s 220th 100 mile (or more!) event. Both started their LDWA 100 career in 1982 and Sandra has completed 23 LDWA 100s and Richard slightly fewer than 20. It’s fair to say, that’s a lot of walking.

On today’s walk, Sandra said “it was a brilliant event, the route description was excellent, the checkpoints were uniformly wonderful and it was a lovely walk”, with Richard adding that “we didn’t know the area, it’s lovely to be here”.”
