The Great British Beerathon Review

lee stuart evans

I walked round the corner in an alleyway in a quiet part of London and there it was… It was like hashing but with the average age halved, After the searing heat of my desert crossing and the freezing rain of Race to the King I was like Bilbo Baggins returning home to the Shire.

This was MY OWN PERSONAL OLYMPICS We had arrived at the Great British Beerathon in London.  5 one mile laps interspersed with ‘slobsticles’ of pints and snacks. Pre … Continue reading The Great British Beerathon Review

So far I’ve visited 20 tube stations that day WITHOUT catching a single … Continue reading The Rory Coleman Underround Review – CustardFail ,UltraBusking ,6 Marathons in 6 Days or how to be in a Wham!

The Centurion Autumn 100 Review

lee stuart evans

my 24 hr and 28hr race timings for the Centurion Autumn 100 Imagine if you will a scene of total running indignity ………. It was 9am on a beautiful October Sunday morning . I was shuffling in agony along the Thames path in Reading getting some very strange looks from the people enjoying a stroll.  I was dressed like a runner, with walking poles like an arctic explorer and a 285 race number on my leg….and I was covered in porridge.  I also smelt really bad. I had porridge in my beard, on my legs , on my shoes , … Continue reading The Centurion Autumn 100 Review
