Mo is an absolute beast. Man ran nearly a full marathon in the middle of the night on two consecutive nights. Also, kudos to Jess for stepping up and taking over a 35K middle of the night run on short notice.

[@MarieRossiter]

This team just cannot be stopped. Sure, the talent is incredible on the road--but your love, your light, your energy...all of you together are just a FORCE! Thank you for sharing it with the world!

[@runningchannel]

So glad you enjoy what we do Marie 🥰

[@michellet9985]

Rick's little voice overs over each person is so sweet and cute. You guys have great energy and vibes. You can really see the trust and love there

[@runningchannel]

We are so glad that comes across as we really do 🥰

[@nidhivaidya6485]

I've so been looking forward to this!! Congrats Rick and TRC team!!!

[@runningchannel]

Thank you!!

[@jasonhodach5711]

All these videos have such a relatability to them that just make ANY runner enjoy watching them. The teams camaraderie is so inspiring. Congratulations to ALL the team on this run and thank you for providing an entertaining channel to watch. Can’t wait to see what content you put out for 2024!!

[@runningchannel]

Thank you! We can’t wait to show you what we have in store for 2024 but let us know what you’d like to see us make

[@nidhivaidya6485]

I'm so impressed by Tom's ability to film while riding a bike

[@sarag4743]

Tom! Great to see you running in the challenge! Good job all - you are so inspiring!

[@paradox_3000]

These videos always make me want to go out for a run. So that's what I'm going to do. Fantastic job everyone.

[@runningchannel]

Mission accomplished for us then 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@keithgreen2102]

A fantastic achievement and brilliant video from my favourite peeps (I can say that now I've met you all!). Congratulations! I'm running this month as part of the challenge..

[@stuartthurstan]

I don't normally take part in strava challenges but you have inspired me with this one so I've joined your strava club. Have some December kilometres from me for this extremely worthy cause. Well done all at TRC!

[@runningchannel]

That’s so good to hear. Let us know how you get on 🙌🏻

[@brookeworm18]

Rick is back with his legendary shorts/leggings combo!!! Love this holiday tradition, TRC!

[@runningchannel]

Haha so do we!!

[@dresden_slowjog]

Love the combo! I've got a male running buddy who wears too tight tights and it's not a pretty sight for me. Many females know their sizes, so no camel toe atrocities. How can I politely tell my friend that he's not a 1970s rock star? (I wear thick, rather loose tights).

[@robertfarris7375]

Congrats to all. Glad to see Rick back on the road. You all did an amazing job.

[@mista24seven25]

I ran my first Marathon on Dec 2 for St Jude in Memphis, Tn and out of all the great videos I watched to prepare, Tom’s marathon video is what really brought me home… thank you RUNNING CHANNEL!. Support Rick and the cause….

[@BoudewijnVanAutreve]

You're all amazing. Go team Running Channel! Love the real runners moment with Sarah and Tom, thanks for sharing, we've all been there!

[@mmoesby]

The best ever crew. So happy for You Rick, coming back from severe injury and now doing this.

[@sheridanhunt5162]

So excited to watch this. Great job everyone and love the challenge. Tom you don't stop surprising me - great person you are.

[@Panasonic-paul]

What a great effort! Can imagine it must feel special to be a part of that group! Thnx and well done

[@clairemilsom7241]

Well done TRC 🙌💪 I’ve been looking forward to watching this and it didn’t disappoint. All of you have been my inspiration this year and just wanted to say Thank you

[@tnan123]

Amazing teamwork and such a great challenge! Loved the podcast episode about it and the actual video was great too!

What a meaningful achievement to be able to run back home for Xmas, somemore with your running buddies. It's definitely gonna be one of those memories in your life that you will never forget, well-done TRC crews including all the support team for this epic content!

[@runningchannel]

Thank you so much 🥹

[@AndrewBush_XK]

Well done all, awesome achievement. If I’d known you were in my home town of Leamington Spa I would’ve come and run with you! Running my first HM at 50 in Feb and the channel is inspiring!!

[@user-lt1cf5wp6m]

[@runningchannel]

Thank you!!!

Gutted that I missed you guys when you ran through the park at the bottom of my road! Awesome challenge as ever.

[@VRietySociety]

[@SharaRuns]

Amazing guys! 🎉❤

[@nathalieasselin2251]

TRC really is a great family 🎉. Kudos guys for doing this challenge.

Such an inspiring team effort ❤ Ive joined the challenge & while I won't manage the 100 miles of the distance to my family home before Christmas I'll do my best to get as many in as possible including some of the double value Christmas day miles. I stated running last Christmas eve and the Running channel has taught me so much! First marathon coming up in April 😊

[@runningchannel]

It really was 🙌🏻

[@Flipperwi715]

Don't cry, don't cry don't cry... UGH, you beautiful people made me cry. Thank you for what you're doing.

[@runningchannel]

It was a very emotional experience for all of us running it as well 🥹

[@kelvinleitch]

If I’d known your route, I’d have joined you up Hatton locks, I live right by there!!👏👏😀

[@Ozzy1984_]

Being a fellow Wirral resident. I saw a few people i recognised on the beach at the end, which was cool. As a member of Warriors Pentathlon and athletics club, the wirral is our playground. The wirral way is awesome. That looked a lot of fun.

[@Charlie-kj6xp]

How cool was that! Congrats to all of you 🥹

[@runningchannel]

Thanks Charlie!

[@killerqueen9298]

Awesome video and very emotional. Rick, you have a brilliant team and I am super proud of you all. Yo ran past my office in Chester where I worked before i retired in 2015. Well done all of you and have a super Christmas and a happy New Year. Or Nodolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda.🎄🎄❤❤

[@runningchannel]

Dioch!

[@blrun129]

You are a fantastic team

[@runningchannel]

Ah that’s so kind thank you!

[@AstoriaRunner]

Good job everyone 👏

[@ivylovesrunning]

Well done, everyone! I've been trying my best for this charity. My long run is on Sunday. Then, on the school holiday, I am going to attempt my longest run, a marathon. We shall see.

[@runningchannel]

Thank you so much for all your help Ivy!

[@liamroche1473]

That was great!

[@avinashbhogun]

Gosh you had to go through MK and Coventry, congratulations all 😅😊

[@godanswers]

Tom is amazing! Best cameraman ever ❤ !

[@plowestv]

Love Sarah's jacket (14mins in) but cant see it at the link. Can you supply more details? Well done everyone, I ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon for MND last year, a great cause

[@alicecourse559]

You were in Moseley! Love Serrento!

[@robertleslie8390]

Great job everyone! On a different note, when is the new merchandise going to be available? Was thinking of it as a Christmas present

[@runningchannel]

Soon in the new year!

[@susannaviles]

I had to look up how far 360km is on a map of Australia for context so I could wrap my brain around the distance. It's basically the same as from my house in Brisbane to Coffs Harbour. Wowzers! You all crushed it!!!

[@EggsForDessert]

15:08 is that holders lane near cannon hill park! That barrier has only just come down and it killed my Sunday long run for months!

[@wiggle871]

Love night trail running

[@MurhsiziJessica]

Great❤

[@tobymacalister506]

Don't think Mo ever stops smiling.

[@runningchannel]

Can confirm he never does. The man is a superhero

[@mollypx9449]

Beautiful

[@runningchannel]

Thank you

[@paulhester3088]

Worth running to West Kirby just for Marigold’s chippy.

[@katiev6456]

"Get your cheque books out" 😂

[@runningchannel]

😂😂 old school

[@jenniferbraun2654]

If you could also do the distances in miles that would be very helpful to us in the States. Lol😊

[@fplpie8417]

Maybe you could try and get Kev Sinfield on your podcasts? Former Rugby League player who has raised loads of money for MND due to one of his former team mates (Rob Burrow) was diagnosed with this truely horrible illness. He recently completed 7 ultra marathons in 7 days. Massive achievement - both yours and his.
