Despite challenging weather conditions, gruelling terrain and continuous walking through the night, the DevelopIQ Trailwalker team completed the UK's most inspiring team challenge this year - to walk 100km in 30 hours with the Gurkhas in aid of Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust.

The team completed the course, which followed the South Downs Way from Queen Elizabeth Country Park near Petersfield to Brighton race course, in 29 hours 11 minutes - a significant achievement given the weekend's unexpectedly wet weather.

The team not only comprised 4 walkers, but also a committed support crew that fought the mud and met the team at each of the 10 checkpoints to provide shelter, food, fresh socks, blister plasters and even massages to the weary trekkers.

Many thanks to all involved in this memorable event and especially to all the friends, family, customers, suppliers and partners who helped the team raise over £1,750 in sponsorship for the two charities, helping the event as a whole raise over £1m.
