So lets just get this straight- it starts at 4am and is 42 miles! How mad is that.... can't even imagine that distance... WOW! Are you planning to walk-jog, jog-walk, jog or run?
i did it with a boyfriend whose church organised the do we started at 10pm, and were having hot beans at4 am en route saw some nutters running it took me 17 hours i think
never got me coffin, co the wimpy B/F couldnt walk the extra half mile
did mine with venture scouts but i organised it. mum and dad did the checkpointing and we took about 15-16 hours i think (not really sure)
did the same as you though and started at 10pm - can't really imagine why now as surely if we'd started at 5am ish we would have done almost all of it in daylight.
I've always fancied doing the walk, but if I could combine it within a race even better. It'd be interesting to see the sorts of times that people do. I've never seen it advertised before.
from a bit more research it appears that numbers for this have been dropping over the years and that they are only able to go ahead this year if they get sufficient interest by early May
i'd definitely like to give this a go and earn myself another coffin.....
