George completes another Ultra!

At the weekend George Buckley completed the ‘RAT’ – Roseland August Trail Race Series in Cornwall. This is a series of challenging coastal runs along the stunning South Cornwall Coastal Path.

The event incorporates four different routes, covering 11, 20, and 32 miles, but George went for the ‘Plague’ 100K – 64 miles! 

The route followed the famous Cornwall Coastal path, taking runners through stunning coastal scenery, over undulating paths, through fields, villages and surrounding countryside – it is not for the faint hearted!

George competed the gruelling 100k ‘Plague Ultra’ in very warm weather conditions – a great achievement!
