CitySpace staff finished 3rd with 775km ahead of Team Sunderland staff’s 616km while Equestrian rounded out the top 5 with 581km.
Overall, the team’s combined to cover 7188km, an average of 240km a day for the whole month.
Individually Netball’s Hannah McGregor was the top performer racking up 502km on her own narrowly ahead of her team mate Katie Liwoshko.
Team Sunderland Sport Development Officer Laura Hockaday said: “It’s been great to see so many students from our clubs get involved with the challenge.
