Hi Guys,

Joanne (my wife) and I are looking for help down your end of the world. Jo is planning to run from Malin to Mizen head and we need people to run bits of it with her. We also need witnesses (can be the runner) and support (is our route the right one from your local knowledge). So can you post this on your Clubs e-mail list or website please? Jo’s address is also included in this e-mail.

Thanks

Niall O Crualaoich

Here are the links to Jo’s run and planned Malin to Mizen site.

Although we might be a lot slower than this. The pacing is all just guesswork.The plan is to start running as soon as it gets bright and aim for 125km per day with a mixture of running and walking. We are looking for running and tri clubs along the way to get involved and either run with Joanne or be there as a witness. Contact details are on the Blog.

Talk soon
