Race To The Stones

Well it’s all becoming frighteningly real now. We set off tonight to stash Carrie’s bike near the start and then to drive on to our bed and breakfast for the night : The Inn with the Well, Ogbourne St. George, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8 1SQ,

We will stay there overnight and then travel to the finish where we will catch the shuttle to the start.

I am starting in wave F which has a starting time of 08:25. Shuttles depart at half hour intervals with the last one leaving at 07:00 to arrive at the start for 08:30.

The event is called ‘Race To The Stones’ and is a 100km run along a footpath known as The Ridgeway. It ends at Avebury standing stones. Carrie will be accompanying me but not running. She will be on her bike and meet me a various points along the run and and at base camp in the middle.
.
I start at Field Farm, Shirburn Road, Lewknor, Watlington,
Oxon, OX49 5RR.

I run 50km on the first day and then camp overnight at Lattin Down Kiln, The Ridgeway, Wantage, Oxon,
OX12 8PA.

Then I’ll run another 50km on Sunday to hopefully finish at Rutland Farm, Avebury, SN8 1RH.

From there it’s just a short hop back to the Inn With The Well.

I will be wearing a GPS tracker so if you want to follow my progress then visit this page, http://live.opentracking.co.uk/racestones19/ look up my name (number 46 on the list) and it will show you where I am on the route.
