Shhh! Super Secret Test Event

I recently took part in a test event. Once this is publicly announced I will replace this placeholder with a write up.
Windermere Marathon 2024

Doing the Windermere Marathon was a bit of a no brainer. It starts just 2km from where we stay in Ambleside (we are up there pretty much every month for a weekend) and I had a free race entry with Brathay after volunteering at Langdale Marathon, the hilliest road marathon in the country at just…
