GB TRANS BRITAIN
11th to 17th September 2010
.JPG "Go Beyond Ultra Trans Britain")
Following the resounding success of the first running of the Race it is back for 2010. Starting in Scotland, finishing in Wales and taking in the best of what England has to offer this six day, six stage foot race is truly the first multi stage Ultra event for which “Britain” means something. The countryside is spectacular as can be seen from some of the pctures from the 2009 event.
We start at Robert the Bruce’s cave and work our way south to the foot of the Cumbria Mountains, two stages in the mountains before moving into North Yorkshire for two stages including Pen y Ghent and finally to Wales for the final stage and finish in an epic setting.
We have taken care to ensure that the routes through the mountains will take your breath away but with still a strong focus in safety and we will be supported in this by the local professionals.
Each of our race villages will be in sites where showers and loos are available as well as decent food, in fact the food is better than decent, ask anyone who did the event in 2009. Although you will be carrying your kit we will replenish your drinks at each of our checkpoints and even provide some snacks, including the now famous Go Beyond fruit cake, you carry only the food you choose to take.
The route through Ribble Valley and the Dales is stunning and we top all this off with the final leg to a castle in Wales
We want you to enjoy experience and for you arrive at the start line in the best possible shape each day BUT this is a tough race, the equivalent of 6 marathons in six days, climbing up to 5 peaks in a day and 3 legs of Ultra distance – no shortage of bragging rights will be earned here
Finally we finish 
at
Ruthin Castle which is not only provides a spectacular backdrop for the finish but a stunning venue for our prize giving dinner and at last...... a comfy bed!
