In summer of 2012 Stuart Walker will attempt to run the length of the Alps, 1000 miles through Austria, Switzerland, Italy and France from Vienna to Nice. I am fundraising for Water for Kids, a small charity with the simple purpose of ensuring that the world's poorest communities have clean water.

On this blog I will talk about the my plans and training adventures.

Please spread the word about my challenges and donate to help me raise £10,000 for this great charity!

Thule gold, Silva silver, Seagate bronze

The Adventure Racing world championships in Tasmania have just finished. World championships are always longer than normal ARs, and the Thule team took 5 and a half days for this race. It sounds like a true epic, with Seagate leading throughout the race until they had to sit out a four hour penalty at the last checkpoint. At this point Thule overtook them, and Silva (who qualified for the world championships by winning the Apex race I took part in in May) squeezed past and held on to beat Seagate by just 4 minutes.

Lots of great reporting on Sleepmonsters.com


Next year the world championships will be held at the Raid in France. 6 days of hike-a-bike anyone?!
