SPAR Coast - Race Information

SPAR Coast Challenge

http://www.mobcoast.com/

On September 11, 12 and 13th Bruce and I will be running 103 miles on the South West Coastal Path. Between Haytor, on Dartmoor and Plymouth, the path has an incredible 10,000m of ascent/decent. That’s more than Everest in just 100 miles! So every mile you climb 100m and descend of course…It’s an RAW event, because it’s in the RAW format of camping and self sufficiency. The scenery is terrific, the landscape awesome and the challenge simply breath taking. There is a granite tramway, sand, sea and cliffs…lots of them on this event. The path in places is treacherous and there is a River Estuary section that provides the most unusual running conditions we have encountered whilst planning events in the UK. There’s nothing quite like it.
