Trail Running 675KM across Scotland - "Closing the loop" on Sarah's Light to Light Project - The Debrief
Description
Episode 43! Sarah arrived back in Australia from her Light to Light adventure a few weeks ago so Sarah and Kristen took the opportunity to check in and debrief on her 675KM run from the most southerly point of Scotland at the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse, north to the most northerly point of the Outer Hebrides at the lighthouse at the Butt of Lewis.
If you don't know about Sarah's self-mapped and self-named adventure, "Light to Light", skip back to Epsiode 35, Episode 37 and Episode 42 where we talked through the mission from the time Sarah committed back in January of this year, with progress updates along the way.
Otherwise, tune in here to hear all about how the adventure went down. We cover the journey along the way across dedicated trail networks; the physical and mental challenges; the experience of designing and running your own adventure outside of a dedicated event, plus other stuff not previously shared via Instagram!
Thanks to everyone for their support in Light to Light including lululemon, Nemo Equipment, OMM, Smartwool Socks, CLIF Bar and the Gutsy Girls Adventure Film Festival.
Sarah's run was in support of Free to Run - you can visit her fundraising page here. Thanks to everyone for your generous donations for this incredible cause. The short film FREE TO RUN about the NGO and its founder, Stephanie Case, is available on YouTube here.
