The Challenge

The London to Cariff 24 is a team challenge like no other. I am one part of a team aiming to run every step of the 160 miles from Twickenham in West London to the very centre of Cardiff.

The route takes us along rivers and canals, through forests and towns, across fields, along ridgeways and public paths, and over bridges including the spectacular Severn Crossing.

The terrian varies from tarmac to mud, gravel to long grass, and with the need to navigate our way along our route, we will need to keep our wits about us.
