    Welcome to the website of Team Toonie Express
    Toonie Express are an Adventure Racing team based in Lincolnshire. All members are very experienced runners who have been targeting the harder and longer Adventure Runs such as HellRunner, SoTF, The Grim and Trail Marathons, Duathlons, Triathlons and Adventure Races such as RatRace.

    Chris Smith is the team leader, at 41 has been running since school. Chris has done London to Brighton, 400+ races, countless Marathons all over the world and loves anything extreme and muddy. Chris starts each year with the Goofy Challenge in Orlando(Sat Half Marathon then Full Marathon the next day)and this year was 39th out of 4,000 so quite happy! Chris also has a background in Duathlon and Martial Arts and 12 Hour overnight MTB cycle racing. A qualified coach, 1st aider, course measurer and many other things.

    Dave Raynes is now 55 and has been running for 30+ years and done 900+ races including 180+ Marathons and everything else including monster triples like Two Bridges 35m, Grantham Canal Run 33m, Grimsthorpe 10k. Nothing stops him, even the fact his bike has no suspension and weighs as much as a small car (must buy a Marin!).
    Catherine is a real trail runner who loves any distance and off road routes. The Lakes is her top destination for rain and sweat! (and fish and chips).
