Some bright spark disappointed with the concept of the Olympic relay spending half it's life trundling around in a transit, so organised the [url= http://www.endurancelife.com/realrelay/ ]The REAL RELAY[/url]
It follows the entire 8000 mile Olympic Relay route non-stop, using runners 24 hours a day. It started 10 days after the Olympic one and aims to get to complete before the opening ceremony. Using a satnav tracker beacon as the torch baton it's so far completed the West of England, Wales, the Isle-of-Man, Ireland and is soon Moving into Scotland.
If you want to run a section get over to the website now and book a slot. I noticed that Bridge of Orchy to Kings House Hotel is still up for grabs, which has got to be a pretty awesome relay section! and dammed sight more memorable than watching a coca-cola publicity van trundle though Fort William 🙂
Pass on the link to anyone who might be interested, as an event this could be epic!
looks interesting I'll keep an eye on that for when it comes down my way
