Since 2018, the Blakiston Challenge has become a focal point of preseason at Northampton Saints.
Here, we tell the remarkable story of the Saints War Hero who inspired it and go behind the scenes at Castle Ashby for the 2022 run.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our Patron, Her Majesty The Queen. Our thoughts and condolences are with The Princess Royal, RYA President, and the entire Royal Family - rya.org/bgkf50KEOUq
