Hoping so ... it's one of the Endurancelife events and they are saying (last week) they are going ahead unless things change.

Not sure whether they'll stagger the start, but it isn't an event with vast numbers anyway.

They've halved the shuttle bus capacity from normal. Not sure how I'd get from Land's End, where we'll be camping, to the bottom of the Lizard at some unearthly hour on a Saturday morning without it, but I've got a ticket for it! :-)

I've only ever run the flat bit around Marazion and Penzance before. I think it's going to be challenging!

It looks interesting. The last event I did before lockdown was their Sussex ultra, and they did a good job on that with checkpoints (watering cans to top up your bottle without touching it). Tough crowd. Route was not very different from Beachy Head Marathon where I was in the top third of the field - for the EL I was 91/101 as I recall. I was in no danger of the cut offs at any point, though, so I’m sure you’ll be fine.

Doing that again next year with a friend who will no doubt beat me.

And, unless I've really messed up my calculations, that's me done! Even managed to find a convenient yellow gate for a finish selfie! fetcheveryone.com/training/17936290
