Escape from Meriden - running 130 miles chained

Escape from Meriden was hold in England. In the chained format, the runners are tied by their wrists and have to cover at least 60 miles as the crow flies and 130 miles total within 36h.
NB: despite what the video shows, it turned out another team, Ellen & Jools, also crossed the 130miles mark. Both teams have been declared winners as all stopped at the exact same distance. This was discovered only after this video was finish by the RD as he was analysing the GPX of all runners.
A new trail running video every Tuesday.

[@runnexplorer]

1. Pack everything before hand in the bag. 2. You don't, so better get the kit right the first time :)

Good video. One question, why avoid the canal?

[@runnexplorer]

It was muddy that day + it is a cold trap

[@aidanjepson3587]

Guillaume Arthus ok fella thank you. Mud I prefer to be honest, rather than pounding tarmac. Bit late but well done. Look at arc of attrition 100 down here in Cornwall if you like these sort of events
