Having only arrived in the UK on September 23, Natalie Kauf - already wearing a jogging suit and trainers - was roped in to join one of the teams at last minute.
As the ladies race was short of a runner, event organiser Austen Dack persauded Natalie, who is spending a year at Cambridge University studying for a master’s degree in philosophy in development studies, to take part in the race.
