Description

Having successfully completed over 20 FKT routes, some of which 50+ miles, and a 70 mile route raising money for Prostate Cancer UK, I know what it takes to plan and organise a big solo effort. I can assist with planning, training, logistics, fuelling, strategy, route planning, kit and more.

If the run is for charity, we can discuss social media awareness, and getting onto podcasts, radio, blogs and newspapers.
