GB TRANS BRITAIN
11th to 17th September 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 snaps we took when designing the route.
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 (who will be the King (or Queen) of them) before we take on the Dales for two stages and finally (via our magic bus) to Wales for the final stage and an epic 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. Although you will be carrying your kit we will replenish your drinks at each of our checkpoints and even provide some snacks, 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 (www.ruthincastle.co.uk) which is not only the venue for our finish but our celebration dinner too.
We have taken very possible care to ensure that this is an enjoyable experience and 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 to 5 peaks in two days and 3 legs of Ultra distance – no shortage of bragging rights will be earned here
Entry Fee is £750 with a £250 deposit with entry and the balance is due by 30th June 2010. See section below for charity places and costs
Our goal is that you should remember this as an experience of a lifetime
Go beyond supports:
As many people might know Go Beyond supports a charity set up in 2005 by Steve Adams to support the cost of secondary education for children from the Nairobi Slums.
Through competing in Trans Britain 2009 you can also help the children in Kenya. Teach Africa has now increased its charity places to 50 which are available at £250, provided you can raise more than £1000 that will be you cost of entry to the Trans Britain.
However, if you raise more that £1500 we will refund your £250.
Teach Africa will also provide you with support in terms of promotional material, including video of the school and children, setting up your site with Just Giving and any other support you require to make your fundraising a success. In addition for every contribution you receive via from a UK registered tax payer you will be able to claim the government gift aid of 28% which all counts to your total.
Before you consider this entry option please consider your ability to make the pledge as you will be liable to meet any shortfall.
Run your Ultra, have the experience of a lifetime and help the kids is Kenya get out of the slums through education – good for body and soul
