John's last event was Edinburgh's first ever ultra urban marathon...and John's longest race to date (see 'Past Events/2017'). John continues this year to expand his sponsored events to include new and more challenging endeavours. In that spirit, his event for 2018 will be another (bigger and better) ultra...
The Wall is a one day, 69 mile (111km) run that follows in the footsteps of Britain’s Roman past, along Hadrian’s Wall from Carlisle Castle in Cumbria to Baltic Square in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The route through the stunning scenery of Northumberland includes off-road and on-road terrain and passes a number of tourist attractions such as Lanercost Priory and the market town of Hexham. This will be John's longest run by far - it's double the length of his last race (the Edinburgh Ultra) and includes 20% off road terrain.
