Episode 15 - 24hr Munro Record with Kim Collison
Listen now
Description
The Lake District's Kim Collison chats about his 24hr Munro Record set in July this year. Kim is no stranger to long distance running records - he holds records for the Paddy Buckley Round, Winter Bob Graham Round and Lakeland 24-hr Peaks. The 24hr Munro Round is simple on paper: how many different Munros can you tag in 24hrs, starting and finishing at the same point? In practice of course it is a gruelling physical, mental and logistical challenge. Kim's round took in 33 Munros in the Cairngorms/Glenshee region in 23hrs 48mins, over 160km with 9000m of ascent. This bettered the record of 32 Munros set by Sasha Chepelin in 2020.  Record News article: www.fionaoutdoors.co.uk/2021/07/new-record-33-munros-in-24-hours-for-kim-collison.html History of the 24hr Munro Record: www.gofar.org.uk/twenty-four-hour-munro-record Kim's website: kimcollison.co.uk/
