I have often thought I would love to do this race but well 69m is a long way. I can see entries is open for 2022 and I won't lie I am tempted. I had a look on race listings and can see a good few fetchies have done it. Shall I just bite the bullet, plenty time to build mileage, its fully marked and supported so should be a safe option but well eeeekkkk Anyone who has done it do you have any thoughts / insights? If so they would be gratefully received. |

I've not done it myself - but from what I've heard from others it's quite pricy for what you get, and more of it is on the road than they expected. On the other hand, if it's a route you would really like to do, and you want to feel you'll be well looked after, then go for it!!

Is this the Rat Race one? I'd also heard that a lot is actually on road rather than the route of the wall. Just Googled and got this; bbc.co.uk Ask the winner?

It is. While the actual wall would be great I can imagine it would be tricky I’m ok with the road/trail mix. Running for best part of 24hrs though.... maybe I coul power nap on a park bench 😂 |

I must say that it does look tempting! I've got Action Challenge's Cotswold Challenge 100k event in the diary for 2021 and if I complete that, then I might look at this seriously for 2022.
