Lakes in a Day - 13th October 2018

[Northerner]

A 50 mile ultra race. Ex pro-cyclist and now Type 1 advocate and ultra runner Roddy Riddle has posted on FB that this year "21 fellow type 1 diabetic Ultra Marathon Runners will be on the start line of the 50 Miles Lakes in a day Ultra Marathon which has 13K of climbing. This is going to be a very special day running with all the other athletes taking part but extra special running this beast with so many fellow type 1 diabetics" 😱 🙂

Here's a video of the 2014 race 🙂

Good stuff. This is organised by James Thurlow who also does the Coast to Coast (cycling) in a day. As a T1 himself all T1's get free entry to both events. Both get booked up really quickly. As far as I'm aware Copepod knew him and spoke to him after his diagnosis. There's a Strava club that I'm on linked with it 'T1's go Cycling and Running'.

I’m washing my hair that day otherwise I would have been straight in there! Good luck to everyone, what a great challenge, I struggle to walk up and down fells never mind running up them! 🙂 What a brilliant video, one of my favourite songs and my glorious home county.
