The Epic Tri

How about this for a little adventure ...

Anthony Emmet and Bruce Duncan, two of the UK's top adventure racers are currently under-taking an amazing endurance challenge to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. Their challenge, 'The Epic Tri' is a massive none stop triathalon challenge consisting of running the Bob Graham 24hour fellrunning challenge, cycling on a tandem from John-O-Groats to Lands End and then completeing the gruelling Devizes to Westminster canoe race.

The pair have already completed the Bob Graham round consisting of 65 miles, 42 Lakeland Mountain Tops and 27,000ft of climbing in under 24 hours, which is considered to be the toughest fell running challenge in the UK.

Anthony and Bruce are now well into their cycle leg which will see them covering almost 900 miles from the most northerly to the most southerly points of  mainland Britain. They hope to complete the cycle leg in around 60 hours and hope to arrive at Lands End sometime on the evening of 22nd April.

The challenge will culminate in them competing in the 125 mile Devizes to Westminster Canoe Race, over the Easter Weekend. The DW is the largest and longest canoe/kayak race in the country and has to be completed within 24 hours. The record for which stands at a staggering 15.5 hours.
