After completing Marathon des Sables in 2012, I sort of got bitten by the Ultra running bug. So, in September 2014 I will be running 170 miles over 6 stages from the Grand Canyon, Arizona to the Pink Cliffs of the Grand Staircase, Utah.

Much the same as MdS this is a multi stage event where participants are self sufficient, only being resupplied with water.

I am doing this event because it's an opportunity to see and experience some of America's wilderness and also to raise funds and awareness for British Lung Foundation, Wales.

In support of this effort, I will be putting myself through a few mini events including a 100km treadmill run, a 24hr treadmill run, a 24hr mountain marathon and an attempt to run the Anglesey Coastal Path (125miles) in 48hrs.

To keep up with progress on these slightly mad ventures, please visit my blog - http://www.dannycrookes-g2g.blogspot.co.uk/
