The award will be presented annually at the Spring Run Awards Dinner and is open to all YAs YBs and YTs registered with the MGCC Y Type Register.
Past Winners
2026 Winner Keith Powell’s YB.
. In 2025 he and his wife Wendy undertook not only a journey from Land’s End to John O’Groats, but from Essex to Cornwall to begin with and along the Highland 500 route on the way back. Wendy’s uncle served aboard the destroyer HMS Exmouth during the last war. On the 21stJanuary 1940 it was torpedoed, with the loss of all hands, off the coast of Scotland at Wick. Part of the reason for the trip was to pay respects to his memory. We were not sure who deserved more praise for endurance, the YB or Keith and Wendy.
