College of West Anglia Students commemorate 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe with a challenge and other tasks

The RAF threw out a national challenge and students at the College of West Anglia (CWA) in Wisbech picked up the gauntlet.

The Air Force challenged people up and down the country to run or cycle 80 kilometres within an 80-day period as part of the Hurricane 80k challenge, but the students decided to try to complete the challenge in just eight hours on VE Day (Friday May 8).

During an eight-hour period, students, staff and family members cycled and ran 134 km, well exceeding their target by over 36 kilometres.
