On Friday 13th, August, I intend to attempt to run, (with the assistance of a small team of assistants) the North Coast 500 route... https://www.northcoast500.com/

I'll be leaving Inverness approx 8pm to ensure the road heading West out to Applecross before turning North up to Durness, etc. is quiet. A clockwise route choice.
I shall attempt to better the current FKT held by William Sichel with a time of 8 days 19 hours 7 minutes.
I'll also have a tracker so you can follow if you wish.

There is no under-estimating this challenge. Its a tad scary, for sure. But, that's what we should do, no?
Choose things that scare you a little but make you feel excited at the same time.
I think so.

With only six weeks away, it now doesn't leave a lot of time to back out of it. Unless something serious crops up in the meantime. Let's hope not.

This attempt will be fully supported and as such, if you find yourself in the area and wish to spend a few miles with me, or even join the team to support me around, please pm me.

So, for now... cat is out the bag.
And, if you want/can assist, please get in touch/share with folks you think might be suited to helping.

Duties can you can help with, include:
Cycling alongside me.
Running a few miles with me.
Throwing food at me as you pass by..
Massaging my sore bits (if suitably qualified).
Chucking abuse at me at any point along the way.
Additional support team to allow more rest for team. This can be for a few hours and even days. Entirely up to you.
