The Glencoe marathon will be my 8th marathon to date and potentially my hardest. 

The off-road marathon is an epic trail run that ascends a total of 1,608 metres through the heart of Glencoe and into the foothills of Ben Nevis.  

The route snakes through the pass of Glencoe, surrounded by the towering remains of this ancient super volcano, before climbing 500 metres up the fearsome Devil’s Staircase. From the eastern edge of the Aonach Eagach Ridge you look straight onto the mighty Buachaille Etive Mor (the great herdsman) before dropping back to sea level at Kinlochleven where the Mamores Half Marathon starts. Climbing up through the Mamores the route undulates until the descent into Glen Nevis and the base of the mighty Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak.

I am raising funds for a local older peoples charity - Age Cymru Gwynedd a Mon. The charity provides essential services for the local older population, their carers and close family members. Services range from home support and care packages, information and advice that includes signposting, benefits, advocacy and financial guidance, community based initiatives such as Ageing Well activities, lunch clubs, befriending and local forums. They also provide a full insurance package including car, home and travel.
