The ladies are all work colleagues at Kellogg’s Europe, based in Swords, Co. Dublin.
The event required teams of four to trek by day and night without sleep to complete a 100km course inside 36 hours from Newcastle to Carlingford.
From a field of 102 teams that started the event, Pop Tarts was the fastest all-female team to cross the finishing line. They finished seventh overall, completing the 62-mile route in the magnificent time of 24 hours 26 minutes and 55 seconds.
The team shall collect their award for their fantastic achievement at a ceremony held in Carlingford.
Well done to all who took part!
