About the challenge

The Lakeland 50 & 100  is dubbed “The UK’s Premier Ultra Trail Race”. It starts and finishes in Coniston in the UK Lake District (NW England) over the weekend of 27th & 28th of July. The 50 runs alongside the second half of the 100. 50 UK miles means 80km and includes 3000 metres or 10000 feet of ascent. Find more information at www.lakeland100.com.

I  have raced just once before – 10km in 2011. Since then, 7 years of no
running until I started training, gently, in October 2018. I joined some  public 10km runs in December. It takes time to mobilise an old body like mine! You can follow my progress on Strava.

About the charities

DrugFam supports families and friends of those with alcohol

and drug addiction problems. Those with responsibility for providing
drug and alcohol services have had years of budget cuts throwing ever
bigger demands on carers. Families need support too! More information at www.drugfam.co.uk
